On route to school this morning Olivia said to me in the car “My teacher makes me believe that I can do anything” and that to me is what education is all about. To educate is key but to build up children and to believe in them even more so. Grateful that Olivia could experience this.
Somerset House Primary School has provided both our children the crucial foundations needed to assist them in adapting to new environments in new schools for 2025. The support and relationships built over the years and offered to our sons has made it very hard to know our years at SH have come to an end. Somerset House has become a family over the years and we couldn’t have asked for a better grounding for our boys.
I really love this school as the people at this school encourage me to work hard and believe in myself, to never give up and to chase after my dreams.
Education of the highest standard in a nurturing environment by passionate staff and teachers.
It’s a beautiful environment for a child to grow . I thank all of the staff at Somerset house for creating such a good atmosphere for the children.
We, as parents, felt seen and part of the community / family from day 1 and our child transitioned with ease due to the nurturing environment.
We love being at Somerset House and feel our child is very happy there and is thriving in her environment.

Who we are

Our extensive campus offers children a unique natural setting rich with trees and open spaces. Historical buildings house modern classrooms, specialised learning centres, technology hubs and a shared dining room, the heart of the school.
