From our <b>award-winning Nursery<\/b> onwards, we nurture excellence by taking the time to understand <b>what makes each child tick<\/b>. We take time to listen, observe and understand, <b>providing the stretch and the scaffolding that helps every pupil perform to their full potential.<\/b><\/p><p>The early years are <b>not just a stepping stone<\/b> at Cumnor. They are <b>the foundation on which everything else is built<\/b>, we believe they should be <b>nothing short of extraordinary<\/b>. Staff meet regularly to reflect on their practice, <b>shaping activities around each child&#8217;s own interests and setting high expectations for their learning and personal development from the very start.<\/b><\/p><p><b>Our teachers are experts<\/b> in every sense, subjects are taught by <b>specialist<\/b><strong>s<\/strong>, in and out of the classroom, with high expectations that challenge pupils thinking and draw out insightful, engaged responses. This expertise has been recognised externally too, with <b>skilled questioning and depth of subject knowledge<\/b> singled out as defining features of learning here.<\/p><p>Beyond academics, pupils benefit from an unrivalled level of <b>wrap around care<\/b> and <b>pastoral support<\/b>, alongside an <b>extensive enrichment<\/b> programme, from wellbeing lessons to <b>dedicated meetings with the Headmaster<\/b> on senior school options and choices.<\/p><p>For pupils in Years 7 and 8, boarding offers a <b>flexible model that supports their growing independence<\/b>, surrounded <b>by friendship, encouragement and a community<\/b> that knows them well. Boarders are cared for in a reassuring and <b>supportive environment<\/b> where their opinions are genuinely heard. It&#8217;s a home away from home that helps pupils <b>grow in confidence <\/b>as they prepare for the next stage of their journey.<\/p><p>Additionally, <b>the great outdoors is part of Cumnor&#8217;s DNA<\/b>, we actively look for chances to take learning outside during lessons, making it practical, relevant and meaningful, whether that&#8217;s exploring at <b>Woodpecker<\/b><strong>s<\/strong> or performing in our <b>Garden Theatre<\/b>.<\/p><p>Cumnor is a school that fosters self-confidence and <b>encourages every pupil to stretch themselves<\/b>, discover their own unique talents, and set their sights high, an <b>empowering, contemporary education within a vibrant, supportive community.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":66519,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"directory-category":[1453,1469,1462,1475],"class_list":["post-66518","business","type-business","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","directory-category-baby-toddler-groups","directory-category-daycare-nurseries","directory-category-i-toddlers-friday-am","directory-category-independent-schools"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/midsussex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business\/66518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/midsussex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/midsussex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/business"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/midsussex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business\/66518\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66528,"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/midsussex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business\/66518\/revisions\/66528"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/midsussex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/midsussex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"directory-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/midsussex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/directory-category?post=66518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
