What is the structure of the school?
Carleton House is divided into two departments. The Infant Department consists of three classes (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) catering for children aged four to seven. The children then progress to the Junior Department, which has four classes (Years 3-6) for seven to eleven age range . There is a teacher responsible for each class with a full-time Teaching Assistant in the Reception Class and four part-time Teaching Assistants who work throughout the school.
There are also specialist teachers in the Junior Department for Mathematics, English, Science, Music and Physical Education and Sport. Small class sizes mean pupils benefit from more individual attention - especially important when preparing for entrance exams for secondary school.
