Years 5 & 6

Years 5 & 6 encompass a critical phase of personal and intellectual development that can vary enormously from girl to girl. Eager to learn, full of energy, curious, ready for adventure, sociable and ready to solve the problems of the world.

We have designed learning experiences and structures that promote the development of positive, healthy girls. The teaching programme is an exciting, engaging and relevant to the fast-changing world in which we live. The focus is on encouraging greater independence, and increased responsibility for the student’s own learning, in preparation for a smooth transition to our Year 7 and 8 programmes.

By supporting and nurturing the girls, we build on their abilities to interact with peers, navigate social cues and maintain friendships. Team building, social and cultural awareness, and a strong sense of personal self-worth are crucial components of our education at Selwyn House School.

“An all girls’ school creates a culture of academic achievement where each individual’s potential is realised and self-exploration and growth is freely and safely nurtured.”
