What makes Polam School special?
Polam School is an independent pre-preparatory school with an outstanding nursery, located in the heart of Bedford. Our school provides the perfect home from home environment for your child to begin their educational journey, from the age of 12 months to 9 years.
With music, languages, drama, swimming and sport all introduced in small groups from an early age, our curriculum goes way beyond national expectations. The majority of our children progress to the local Harpur Trust schools, but destination schools also include other Cognita Schools as well as a number of State Middle Schools in Bedfordshire.
Outstanding Nursery and School provision
Both the School and the Nursery underwent an inspection by the Schools Inspection Service in December 2016 and were judged to be ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ in all areas. Our internal assessments and Harpur Trust entrance exam pass rate confirm our academic excellence.
Nurturing, family environment
Polam provides a small, safe, homely environment in which pupils flourish, thanks to exceptionally small class sizes and dedicated teaching staff who have in depth knowledge of each individual child.
Individualised learning & broad curriculum
Every day is filled with learning adventures through a curriculum that far exceeds national expectations, with music, modern languages, drama, swimming and specialised PE all introduced from an early age.
