Founded in 1973, our current purpose-built, award winning school premises was completed in 2002, after the need to expand was recognised by the Governing Body of Oundle School; thereby creating greater opportunity for more children to benefit from all that Oundle School, Laxton (the day-house of Oundle School) and Laxton Junior can provide.
The aim of the school is to provide the best possible preparatory education in the area, where our pupils' strengths and weaknesses are recognised and nurtured, in order for them to begin to fulfil their potential as young learners.
Through the caring pastoral system and broad academic curriculum, the school lays solid foundations in the development of well-motivated, confident and happy children who are willing to give of their best on the road to high achievement. At Laxton Junior, it is recognised that children bring to the school a wide and colourful variety of experience and talent. We believe that, through building happy working relationships, each child is enabled to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Class sizes are small and, therefore, individual pupils' contact time with the teaching staff is high, enabling the teachers to assess and develop strengths and weaknesses to great effect.
Laxton Junior offers a wide variety of extra-curricular activities, where pupils are encouraged to express themselves through sports and hobbies. It is acknowledged that the importance of play cannot be stressed enough and is a vital component to a rounded education, complementing the teaching and learning that occurs within the classroom.
Choosing your child's educational path depends on many factors. If we can help in your decision making, please come and talk to us.
