Kate May's Company Details
Maida Vale School, part of the Gardener Schools Group opened its doors to pupils in September 2020. It is the sister senior school to Kew House School, Kew Green Preparatory School and Ravenscourt Park Preparatory School, founded by qualified teachers Maria and Edward Gardener. Maida Vale School will be founded on clearly defined values and these inform everything we do:-We believe that each student should be treated as an individual, inspired and motivated to allow them to fulfil their full potential.-We engender confidence and self-esteem, leading to intellectual risk taking and a love of learning.-We cultivate values of respect, compassion, tolerance and community responsibility in each student.-We pursue excellence in all areas of study and exploration.-We take a holistic approach, as we believe that there can be no artificial barriers between a student's intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual growth.Many senior schools remain firmly modelled on past independent and state grammar school models. Within the Gardener Schools Group, we have successfully shown that a modern approach can bring about change for the better. Adolescents now mature socially and emotionally at a younger age and an appropriate learning environment must reflect this. Our students must leave school as resilient, self-reliant young people who can problem solve creatively and understand group dynamics. These skills and values will equip our students for life in the 21st century.
