St Aubyn's School is a co-educational, independent, preparatory school, situated in Woodford Green, England, with around 500 pupils aged between 3 and 13.
History
The school was founded by James Crump. It began in 1884 as a boys' day and boarding preparatory school opposite Bancroft's School in Woodford Wells, moving to Broomhill Walk in 1893.
Since 1918 the school has been situated in Bunces Lane, where its main building was once a large private town house called Pyrmont Villa, which later extended into the adjoining parklands. During the Second World War, the school was taken over by the army and the field was used as an army parade ground, during which time the school decamped to Cumberland. The school became a charitable trust in 1975, and became co-educational in 1995.
Sport
The students are taught physical education from nursery age, and games from Year 3 (the start of middle school). The school provides for a large range of sports, with a particularly strong tradition in cricket. St Aubyn's has been awarded Sportsmark status by Sport England.[1] The Sports hall was officially opened by Sally Gunnell on the 2nd December 1997[citation needed], since when it has been open to the public as well as for school use.
Performing arts
The school has an active drama program, and in the last three years has included productions of Bugsy Malone and Cats, which were used to raise money for charity.
The Comenius Project
The [[ComenHUTYUTG78TY CF4P[Oius]] project connects St Aubyn's School to four others in the Czech Republic, Sicily, Poland and Turkey through dance and music. This has included school exchanges and performances. The school started to take part in the Comenius scheme in 2007 and received the British Councils' International School Award in 2008, in a ceremony hosted by George Alagaya in London.[2]
Inspection
The Independent Schools Inspectorate stated that " The well-qualified and committed staff provides high standards of care and support for each individual. The school premises and facilities are mostly well-appointed, very good links are established with parents and with the local community, and pupils’ good behaviour and their positive relationships with each other and with their teachers form the basis for the school’s attractive ethos and strong sense of purpose."
