“We are very happy with the Lyceum and really value the parent/ teacher/ child relationship which fosters good academic and social development.”

Why choose the Lyceum School?

Play-based learning: Our curriculum is centred around child-initiated play, which effortlessly integrates learning with fun. Through our imaginative and creative lessons, pupils can develop essential skills without the pressure traditionally associated with schooling.
Outdoor learning and exploration: As an independent school situated in the heart of London, we leverage our fantastic location to enrich learning experiences and regularly coordinate trips to nearby art galleries, parks, and even our own “Lyceum Garden” at Spitalfields City Farm where children can engage in hands-on activities.
Focus on emotional wellbeing: We strive to create a positive environment where every child feels safe and valued at school, and is reinforced by our emphasis on promoting positive personal, social, and emotional development (PSED).
Personalised learning approach: We believe in recognizing and nurturing the unique genius within each child. Our dedicated team takes the time to understand each student’s interests and needs, crafting a subtly unique curriculum that challenges and engages them at the right moments.
Community and Partnership with Parents: We believe in fostering a strong partnership with parents and invite them to immerse themselves in the school’s activities. From daily interactions with teaching staff to interactive parent workshops, we pride ourselves on fostering a collaborative community that enhances the educational experience.

“Overall, the environment and feeling of community are outstanding. Creates an atmosphere for children to build friendships and gain confidence.”
