Our Childcare Provision
In Sandleford we offer high quality nursery care & early years provision with:
Flexible Nursery Sessions
Extended School Day
54 Acres of Grounds for Outdoor Learning
Nourishing Home-cooked Food
Before & After School Clubs
Sandleford employs a fully qualified Early Years teacher to guide and plan the curriculum from the Baby Room through to the Reception class (4 - 5 year olds).
In the Baby and Toddler Rooms, each Room Leader has the training and experience to deliver a varied and exciting daily programme with support from other staff. This includes singing, creative activities and games to encourage counting and speech development.
Junior School
St Gabriel's is a forward thinking independent day school with traditional values and excellent pastoral care. The Junior School is fully co-educational and provides a challenging and exciting learning environment with plenty of scope for outdoor learning within our 56 acre site. As children progress through the Junior School they move from being taught mainly by one teacher for all subjects to specialists in many subjects such as science, modern foreign languages, art and music. This transition enables them to move on to Senior School as a confident, resilient, articulate and resourceful young person.
Senior School
We offer girls a seamless journey from Nursery through to Sixth Form. Teacher-pupil ratios are small and academic results are excellent. The range of courses available at both GCSE and A Level provides both breadth and depth of choice. We help cultivate each girl's special skills and aptitudes as she moves through each stage of her education so that she can face the world with assurance, grit, poise and a love of learning which will stay with her for life.
Before and after school care is available along with an extensive range of extra-curricular activities which cater for every interest from Climbing to Chess to Cookery to Mandarin Chinese.
A fleet of 9 modern minibuses provide transport for our pupils from across West Berkshire as well as from Overton, Andover and Basingstoke in Hampshire; this service also helps reduce our carbon footprint .
