Welcome to The Mall School. We are a proudly academic school with excellent 11+ results, promoting ambition, achievement and authenticity in our children through genuinely small class-sizes. Our rigorous curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities and enriching learning environment help children become confident, articulate and compassionate young citizens.
Alongside academic excellence, our outstanding co-curricular programme, in-house swim school and wide-ranging enrichment opportunities ensure pupils flourish throughout the school day, while curiosity and humour remain central to developing our children’s character, fit for a modern education.
🌻Planting sunflowers isn’t just a fun outdoor activity - it’s a fantastic learning experience for young pupils. As soon as the seeds go into the soil, children learn about patience, responsibility and the wonders of nature.
As they water and care for their plants, they see science in action, understanding how sunlight, water, and soil work together to support growth. Measuring the height of their sunflowers introduces simple maths skills, and observing changes over time builds curiosity and critical thinking.
Beyond academics, nurturing a plant helps children develop confidence and a sense of achievement. Watching a tiny seed transform into a tall, bright sunflower shows them that growth takes time, care, and consistency—an important lesson both in and out of the classroom. 🌱✨

Inspired by our Balloon Debate, a couple of our junior pupils have designed their own fact sheets about two of the influential passengers, Dame Sarah Story and Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
The hot air balloon carries eight people, either historical or current, who the pupils have learnt about, understanding their importance, influence and their legacy.
Each week in our Assembly, we have discussed the pros and cons of the individual’s lifetime work. Losing altitude, children from reception class upwards are voting this week to see who needs to leave the balloon to allow it to climb once again, culminating in only one passenger being crowned victorious.
