Baby Amesbury

About this day nursery

Amesbury School is committed to fostering a holistic educational experience that extends beyond traditional academics, preparing children to thrive in an ever-changing world. The curriculum, particularly for Key Stage 3 (Years 7 & 8), features the Pre-Senior Baccalaureate (PSB), a modern assessment framework designed to cultivate essential values, skills, attitudes, and behaviours.

This framework, overseen by the Learning Skills Trust, emphasises flexible intelligence, independent learning application, effective communication, and a genuine love for learning. The school incorporates six core PSB skills—Leadership, Collaboration, Independence, Thinking & Learning, Review & Improvement, and Communication—and adds a seventh, Community, highlighting kindness, compassion, and belonging.

These skills are integrated into both academic subjects and co-curricular activities, ensuring that pupils understand not just what they learn, but also how they learn. The Amesbury Award further reinforces these skills through real-world experiences and teambuilding.

Assessment is comprehensive, blending projects, presentations, practical work, and formal evaluations to provide a nuanced picture of progress. In Year 8, students undertake the Pre-Senior Project Qualification (PSPQ), an independently designed and led research project that culminates in a formal presentation, showcasing their scholarship, curiosity, and communication abilities.
