Heritage School

Heritage is a coeducational day school for boys and girls ages 4-16. Our view of every child as a person, equal in dignity and value to any other, is anchored in the Christian faith that serves as a foundation for everything we do. Our small classes and our relatively small size as a whole mean every individual is noticed, every child belongs. With our expansive curriculum, we seek to nurture the flame of curiosity and develop a confidence which translates into many areas of life. Leaning against the distractions of our digital age, we offer plenty of opportunities for children to get out and enjoy nature, read whole books, engage in conversation and experience the real world. Our vision is of pupils leaving Heritage as life-long learners, motivated to live well, confident in themselves, skilfully and creatively engaged with ideas, with others, and with the world around them.

Wisbech Grammar School

Our educational approach is based on allowing our pupils to ‘discover who they are’ and this is achieved through a combination of individualised academic and pastoral care, and a timetable that allows children to discover and explore their passions and challenge themselves beyond the confines of the classroom through an exciting programme of foreign languages, sport, science, music and forest school to name but a few.

Our class sizes are small and our teachers are passionate about ensuring every child is happy and reaches their full potential. As children progress, they get to take part in music and drama lessons, food and nutrition, more team sport, art and textiles and science lessons in our Senior School laboratories along with many other opportunities.

We are a thriving international school for 2 – 11 year olds and a welcoming community of children, parents and staff from the local area and overseas. We focus on pupil well-being and ensure that the children are learning in an unpressurised environment with a focus on them becoming confident, happy, resilient individuals.

We have small class sizes (maximum of 16) and have experience in teaching children from different language and cultural backgrounds. Each child has individualised targets to ensure that they are learning, aspiring and fulfilling their own academic potential.

We make full use of our surrounding environment in Cherry Hinton Park and put an emphasis on learning through being in the outdoors. We are also open to innovative approaches and are accepting students who would like to learn with us on a flexible basis.
