Pershore House is a small school which strives to bring out the best in all children, whether academic or physical achievement. Our aim is to develop the whole child through as many educational experiences as possible. Although much emphasis is put on examination work, the happiness and social well-being of each child is of extreme importance to us and much is done to foster a good relationship between pupils, teachers and parents. To this end we have a thriving Parent Association which does a great deal to further the aims of the school and to raise funds through social events at regular intervals through the school year.
Strict attention is paid to all subjects of the curriculum, consisting of, from the age of seven: MATHS, ENGLISH, SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY, FRENCH, HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, ART, MUSIC and GAMES.
Although there is no stringent testing before entry into the school, we do need to know that children have the ability or potential ability in keeping with that of their peers. The school will then develop that ability. Our external examination success rate of around one hundred percent, in recent years, speaks for itself.
All children are encouraged to develop games skills through football, cricket, netball, basketball, tennis swimming and athletics. Judo and karate and dance form extra curriculum activities after school.
Older pupils also have an opportunity to attend adventure courses during holidays in which they learn the rudiments of climbing, abseiling, canoeing, sailing, horse riding and skiing.
