The School 

Providing academic excellence for over 30 years, Horizon has established a rich tradition as a school that cares. At Horizon, we develop our children into kind, creative, tolerant and passionate learners, who are given the opportunity to succeed today, whilst being prepared for the complexities of tomorrow.

We have challenging and rigorous academic expectations based on the National Curriculum for England, in an inclusive environment where barriers to learning are identified, appreciated and overcome together. We aim to develop the leaders of the future, by surrounding children with opportunities to innovate, critically reflect, collaborate and take ownership of their own learning processes and outcomes.

Horizon is an outstanding, forward-thinking school, which embraces new opportunities within learning and teaching. Tradition and values drive our guiding principles, but it is a willingness to innovate which ensures the school continues to thrive, and our newly opened STEM lab and innovative STEM Curriculum is testament to this.

 At the start of 2021, we became part of the Cognita global family of schools of which we are delighted to be part of.
