In our 2026 ISI inspection, we have been awarded a Significant Strength, recognising the exceptional quality of our curriculum. At St Ives we fully understand how children excel in their own learning environment and the pupils here thrive in the nurturing, encouraging atmosphere of this well-established school. St Ives provides small class sizes and outstanding pastoral care; individuality is cher
ished and celebrated. Our dedicated and perceptive teaching team ensures that pupils are appropriately challenged and progress at a pace that is right for them. Our varied curriculum allows plenty of opportunity to discover and develop each pupils' ability and talents in Sport, Art, Music, Drama, Languages and Technology as well as reaching their full academic potential. We are privileged to have wonderful grounds and offer Forest School as part of our curriculum. As a preparatory school we prepare pupils for their senior school education. We get to know them extremely well and are able to develop a clear picture of which senior school will be best for your child. We are proud of our outstanding record of guiding our pupils into their first choice entry of senior school and of the many scholarships awarded to St Ives students.
