Welcome to 850

This brochure is a far-reaching yet simple document. 

850 presents our Mission, our Vision, and our Values: in short, what matters to us as a School and the way things happen here, and why.

It celebrates our unrivalled History and Heritage.

It champions our Present as the jewel in our city’s holistic education crown.

And it spells out how together we are Nurturing our Future as we prepare to celebrate our 850th anniversary in 2029

Pupils’ self-esteem, self-confidence and self-knowledge flourish as a result of warm relationships between staff and pupils and the nurturing culture of the school. They also develop because of the encouraging and effective feedback provided by teachers.
The curriculum for the youngest children is highly tailored to their individual needs and interests, while the oldest pupils are supported effectively by teaching planned to develop pupils’ analytical skills and prepare them for the likely academic demands of their senior or secondary school.
Academic leaders employ a robust tracking system which informs teachers’ understanding of the progress made by their pupils…. Teachers adapt their provision in response to needs identified by assessment data. This contributes to pupils’ good progress.
The school provides a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities, ranging from the ‘country club’ in the pre-prep school where the children extend their geographical learning, to those exploring coding or ancient history.

Music is embedded across the school. Staff have shaped an inclusive approach where all pupils are involved.
