Staff profiles
The not-for-profit New Model School Company opened Faraday, its third, low-fee independent primary school in September 2009, following the popularity of Maple Walk School and Stephenson School in North West London.
The school is situated at the historic Trinity Buoy Wharf, across the Thames from the O2 arena. It was here that British scientist Michael Faraday carried out his work on the improvement of lighthouses when he was working for Trinity House. In celebration of this, the school was named the Faraday School.
The same characteristics which have made our other schools so popular are found at Faraday School: small class sizes; committed, high-calibre staff; a concentration on strong basic skills; an emphasis on knowledge; high expectations of behaviour, manners and respect; and a fully involved parent body. The curriculum is broad and stimulating.
Faraday School currently has a Reception class and a class of mixed Years 1, 2 and 3 children. At the end of each academic year, our classes will move into the following year group until Faraday is a Reception to Year 6 Primary School.
Fees of £2160 per term, (£6,480 per annum 2011/2012) are achieved by keeping tight control on costs and having modest premises. The quality of the education provided is not compromised - a crucial factor in ensuring Maple Walk is so hugely oversubscribed.
Every morning a minibus runs from Canada Square on the Isle of Dogs and travels to the school, making pick ups en route and offering a return journey in the afternoon. After-school care is available until 1730 every day. For parents living South of the Thames, there is a ferry service run by Thames Clippers.
To register your child please complete a hardcopy form and send it to us together with a cheque for £100.00 made out to New Model School Company Ltd - click here.
