Cobham Free School
On Friday, I visted the Cobham Free School, a new independent state primary school for boys and girls from ages 4 to 11. It opened in September 2012. Headteacher, Michaela Khatib, showed me around the school - and plans for the imminent development of the old police station.
The school's website sets out more information on their aims and ethos, including:
- Small class sizes of 20-23 pupils.
- An emphasis on nurturing the individual child.
- Extended school day available (8am-6pm) to help working parents.
- French included in the curriculum from Reception upwards.
- A full programme of 'extra curricular' activities such as Music, Drama and Sport.
- Chromebook laptop for every pupil from Year 1 upwards.
- Access to indoor swimming pool.
The same group are now applying to set up a senior school in Cobham, and have been accepted to interview stage by the Department of Education.
