From the Bethany School
The atmosphere at Bethany is one of a lively, caring community that provides a solid foundation for learning and growth for your child. Every youngster is encouraged to think critically, ask pointed questions, and approach difficulties with increasing independence. They are guided in their endeavours by teachers who are experts in their respective fields, and who are committed to delivering the very highest standard of learning across a broad, balanced and innovative curriculum. We provide a wide range of extracurricular activities outside of the classroom to help each student grow and be challenged. The Bethany experience emphasises fun, excitement, and adventure. Every choice we make has the satisfaction and mental health of our students at its core. Because of this, all three of my own children attended Bethany, and two of them have already graduated from their colleges with first-class honours. We invite you to stop by and see for yourself what we have to offer. Make an appointment by calling 01580 211273.
