ACADEMICS

Academics

The full British National Curriculum — Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 — taught by specialists in classes capped at twenty-five children.

The British National Curriculum, taught properly

Elyton teaches the full British National Curriculum, from the Early Years Foundation Stage through Key Stages 1 & 2. Every class is capped at twenty-five children, taught by specialist teachers appointed before admissions opened.

Attention is a matter of arithmetic before it is a matter of philosophy. Twenty-five is the number we chose.
