Essendene does an excellent job in balancing letting them be kids with prepping them for secondary school and by encouraging greater responsibility for themselves and juniors

How to study, revise and approach homework as well as giving resilience, confidence and team working skills

The school offered weekly after school exam prep classes. Mr. Hodgkiss prepared the children for both independent and grammar school exams and together with Mrs Ali also assisted them with interview skills.

It is a great mix between small class sizes and the consequential ability to focus on individuals while managing to cram an awful lot of extracurricular activities in (all while giving parents the peace of mind that they are in a nurturing space). The exam prep classes are also great

The teachers go above and beyond for each and every pupil. The education is tailored individually for each child due to the small nature of the classes and there is always practical learning which is crucial for a great education. The team at Essendene are superb at teaching and always approachable to both parents and students.

My kids take part in a wide variety of extra curricular activities, which they very much enjoy, and are also learning to play instruments through the school鈥檚 peri lessons.

The children thoroughly enjoy the wide variety of school trips which are on offer, and in particular enjoy taking part in the workshops and activities which are scheduled during the schools themed weeks, such as maths week, science week and wellbeing week etc.

Essendene has created something special, in that they have managed to ensure an excellent level of education, but in an environment where the children really feel it is fun, inclusive and somewhere where they all feel valued. They are completely on top of each child's strengths, but equally areas where they need to concentrate a bit more on.

The teachers absolutely care about every student as an individual and continue to do a fantastic job of delivering the curriculum in fun, engaging and creative ways, which really capture the students imagination. This level of engagement also ensures that they are taking in what they have learnt.

The school teaches excellent values outside of the classroom including the value of friendship, personal wellbeing and emotional intelligence, all things which are essential for the children's growth.

I have two children who attend Essendene within the school and Preschool settings. My daughter absolutely loves the school and has really benefitted from the smaller class sizes. It is my firm belief that she has excelled and fully reached her potential due to having a smaller group and a more personalised touch to her learning.
