Feltonfleet School A GSG School

What says..

Definitely not a hot-house according to parents who say academics are not pushed, instead the teaching ‘feeds their curiosity’. Lessons crafted with a ‘mastery approach’ culminating in the prep school baccalaureate. As a result, academic outcomes are up and onward destinations increasingly impressive. The parent of a pupil with an offer from one of the country’s top public schools (the one often frequented by Prime Ministers) told us,

Feltonfleet is a leading preparatory school for girls and boys aged 3-13, nestled within 25 acres of picturesque grounds with exceptional facilities.

What The Good Schools Guide says

Headmistress

Since 2018, Shelley Lance. Joined school in 2010 as a passionate RE teacher before unintentionally climbing the ranks to headship. Theology degree from King's College London; began teaching career in the senior sector, first at Alleyn’s, then Whitgift, where she was head of lower school and responsible for the school’s pastoral care provision. Warm, authentic and engaging.

Positively buzzing from already delivering a whole school assembly when we met her at 8.30am, then straight off to teach RE to year 8 after our meeting, we felt she was well within her rights to describe herself as ‘very out there’. Has shifted from keeping her hand in with the younger year groups to leading lessons at top of the school to ‘connect with the issues and tap into the temperature of that...

Special Education Needs

Enrichment is at the heart of everything we do and this ensures every child develops to their full potential, both academically and personally, whatever their needs or abilities. This applies to those of exceptional talent as well as those with specific learning difficulties. Although the number of children with diagnosed special needs is small, Learning Enrichment is integral to our teaching. Feltonfleet has a well-resourced Learning Enrichment department situated in the heart of the school with experienced and qualified teachers trained to assess and teach children with specific learning difficulties. We also offer support for children who are experiencing a degree of difficulty with a particular aspect of their learning, for example a young child who has not yet acquired a firm grasp of phonics and needs to revisit certain sounds. Another example might be someone who has missed a vital element of Mathematics and cannot move forward. Some children simply need a little more time to become confident in some subjects. We provide the appropriate support in the classroom and work with small groups and individuals to allow the pupils full access to the curriculum so that they are well integrated into all the activities of the school. At Feltonfleet, we endeavour to provide for the individual learner. We have a Head of SEN (SENCo)who works closely with the teaching staff, providing teachers with advice on planning and teaching through INSET, and working to ensure that pupils with a Specific Learning Difficulty (such as Dyslexia) or with other educational needs are given the best opportunities to achieve their potential throughout the curriculum. Both the SENCo and SEN teacher support sets in English and Maths as an additional teacher, working with groups or providing some individual attention. We have 3 peripatetic 1-1 specialists teachers who work with those pupils identified with a SpLD or other literacy/mathematical difficulties. Pupils are recommended by their teachers for these lessons. The SENCo ensures that all teachers are aware of the targets taught in these lessons and that they are used, where appropriate, in their own teaching objectives. A specialist peripatetic teacher for pupils with English as an Additional Language works in the same way.
