1️⃣ What does your duty of care actually look like at 11pm on a Friday when a child is unwell or in trouble?
La Garenne houseparents are available 24/7 for all students and nurses are on each campus – junior and senior school campus.
2️⃣ Which type of child does your school not naturally serve well?
La Garenne serves all children and with our learning support department we help those who need extra help or ESL support.
3️⃣ When a child is clearly not flourishing, how quickly do you tell the truth?
Wellbeing is a priority at la Garenne and the academic and pastoral care teams work together on an individual plan to integrate all students from the beginning.
4️⃣ How much of what you market is genuinely accessible to the average pupil?
By guaranteeing small classes each teacher is able to offer a differentiated approach to each pupil.
5️⃣ How do you behave when parents are demanding, unrealistic or commercially important?
All parents are treated equally by the senior management team and the school owner is involved in mediation when needed.
6️⃣ What happens after the sale?
Admissions is involved in not just the student recruitment but also monitoring the student’s success and whether support is needed from the academic or pastoral care teams.
7️⃣ How confident are you in the longevity of the school? Will it still be here and still be stable, for the full duration of the child’s education?
A school is not just a place that teaches. It is a place that holds and has roots in the local community and La Garenne holds far better than others because of its 80 year history and being owned by the same family for three generations.
