Bute House teaches girls aged from 4 to 11 who have a broad range of talents, personalities and abilities. At every stage teaching is organised to allow each girl to experience maximum personal success in all areas. We recognise, however, that speed of progress always varies from child to child. Our excellent results and high academic standards are achieved without unnecessary competition and pressure and girls are encouraged to discover and celebrate their natural talents, whether these are academic, sporting, artistic, musical or dramatic.

The Curriculum

It is our belief that a broad and balanced curriculum leads to high standards of attainment at every stage. Indeed, appropriate levels of the National Curriculum are achieved and exceeded at Bute House. English, Mathematics, Science and ICT are Foundation Subjects and are given top priority. French, Geography, History, RE, Citizenship, Physical Education, Art, Design Technology, Drama and Music are taught at every stage. Latin is taught to Years 5 and 6.

Drama, Music, Design Technology, French, Physical Education and Art are taught by specialists in the Lower and Upper Schools. Specialist Science is taught in the Upper School.
