About this company

A message from the head: I started Lloyd Williamson Schools in 1999 as I wanted to create a school where every child feels valued. Here, every child is given the encouragement to become the best that they can be. We have created a school that is a safe, challenging and inspiring environment. This builds within each child a passion for life and learning so that they will leave prepared for the many different directions in which life may take them. Every child is seen as an individual. We have small class sizes with individual, tailored teaching. Children come from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities, but they are all motivated. We help them develop resilience, creativity and purpose. They feel safe, creative and curious, and are not stressed by education. Happy, confident students develop a rich and positive sense of who they are and can be. As a small school, everyone knows everyone from the babies upwards! We creativity and self-confidence and our aim is that every child and student will develop an organic and strong positive sense of self. We feel informal – staff are addressed by their first names, but there is a strong culture of learning in the schools. We cultivate students’ strengths and allow them to fulfil their promise. We would love to welcome you to see for yourself! Please book an individual tour with me on 020 8962 0345. I look forward to meeting you. Lucy Meyer
