Headteacher’s welcome

Welcome to Unicorn School, a safe and happy haven of education founded in 1970 by a dedicated group of local parents and teachers. From the outset, our mission has been clear: to create a school where children not only learn but also thrive creatively.

The ethos remains as robust today as it was at the beginning. Our creative forward-thinking curriculum is a gateway to a world of opportunities. Supported by talented and dedicated staff, we ensure that every child discovers their personal strengths and areas of enjoyment.

We’re not just shaping minds; we’re nurturing hearts. A love of learning, resilience and kindness are at the core of our approach. In the Early Years and Infants, we blend education with play, believing that a nurtured curiosity sets the stage for a child’s journey through school. In the Juniors, we foster communities of enquiry, complemented by lessons in philosophy, brain-time and reasoning. Achieving excellent academic, arts and sports results, we feed on to a wide range of senior schools.

Unicorn is successful and vibrant with individualised and proactive pastoral care. As we prepare children for the ever-changing world ahead, we cultivate not just academic prowess, but also confidence, resilience, adaptability, and the lasting virtues of kindness and compassion. These are the tools they’ll carry into the next stage of their lives.

We extend a warm invitation for you to visit our happy community and immerse yourself in the magic that is Unicorn School.
