ST AUBYN'S School in Rottingdean was recently inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and received much praise.

The inspectors wrote of a "stimulating and tolerant atmosphere", of "outstanding"

pastoral care and of a focus on personalised learning as "an area of outstanding practice".

"Achievement in drama, art and sport is outstanding for a school of its size", the report states.

Last September, Simon Hitchings started as headmaster. After six years at King's College School, Cambridge, where he was deputy headmaster, he and his partner Caroline Foster are bringing a passionate commitment to academic excellence and to the creative arts, especially music.

St Aubyns provides a broad academic curriculum and emphasizes the importance of good manners and courtesy as part of a community founded on Christian values. There is an extensive extra-curricular programme accommodated within the school day. Educational trips and a cultural programme of "Arts Express" days enrich the educational experience on offer.

Links with the local community and regular charity fundraising events help to broaden the children's horizons. Weekly and flexi-boarding places are available for boys and girls.

Details of the next Open Day and of Scholarship Assessments are available on the school website.
