HEADTEACHER'S WELCOME
A good education should not come at the expense of a nurturing and happy childhood.
At Griffin House School, our curriculum and class sizes allow our teachers to focus their attention on your child as an individual and ensure they feel comfortable, safe and valued as we know that this will help them reach their full potential.
We guide our pupils to become respectful, curious and tolerant, with the ability to learn independently and engage joyfully in their learning. We also encourage our pupils to grow as a whole person, ensuring they develop self-confidence and become thoughtful and valuable members of the community.
Our pupils consistently surpass our high expectations and ultimately leave Griffin House School as capable and confident individuals ready to continue their educational journey. I would be delighted to welcome you to Griffin House School so you can see for yourself all our incredible school has to offer.
Mrs. Joanna Leach
Headteacher

This morning’s assembly was dedicated to celebrating Black History Month, honouring black heritage, culture, and achievements ! Each year group shared thoughtful presentations on influential black figures and their lasting impact. Our assembly was filled with with energy and inspiration as our pupils sang songs by Bob Marley, capturing his timeless messages of unity and resilience.
We look forward to hearing these songs again early next year when our pupils perform them at the Young Voices concert, spreading these powerful messages to a wider audience!

In honour of Black History Month, we were privileged to welcome Mr. Eddy Smythe, son of John Henry Smythe, for an inspiring talk about his father’s extraordinary service as one of the few black officers in the British Royal Air Force.
His legacy of courage and determination serves as a powerful example to us all, reminding us of the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
We are incredibly grateful to Eddy Smythe for sharing his father’s inspiring story with the children at Griffin House. This valuable opportunity allowed our pupils to gain a deeper understanding of the contributions made by black servicemen during World War II, and the significance of honouring those who paved the way for future generations.

FROM OUR INSPECTION REPORT
” Pupils are not just physically healthy: they radiate cheerfulness and care for each other, in large part because of the priority attached by the leadership and management of the school to the fostering of their emotional well-being.“
” The children’s development is enabled by teaching that consistently and expertly engages the pupils and effectively structures work to develop their language skills, whatever their ability.”
