Meet the principal: Selwyn House School


At Selwyn House School, we inspire our students to be global thinkers who understand that they can have a positive impact on the world they live in.

Julie Calder, Principal

The school’s purpose is to enable each student to develop the empathy and understanding, as well as the powerful critical and creative thinking skills, that will allow them to make a difference – as well as the belief that they can.

A future-focused curriculum, which is based on the world-leading International Baccalaureate (IB), embraces subjects such as Mechatronics, Robotics, Science and the Arts, while also ensuring that the core subjects are at the forefront of learning is the foundation of Selwyn House School.

To help achieve this, we have a range of specialist teachers to ensure that our students are receiving a high-quality, broad education at this primary school level, and the curriculum is delivered in a way that is engaging, relevant and puts students at the centre of their own learning.

Our strong wellbeing programme ensures our students are able to negotiate the formative years of primary and intermediate schooling within a safe and nurturing environment, where they are able to be themselves, safely challenge themselves, and develop a strong sense of self-worth.

Selwyn House School is filled with supportive, passionate and highly-qualified staff who are determined to make a difference to all students. We provide an inclusive learning environment that encourages every student to be themself and be proud of it.

With our small class sizes, our teaching staff are able to implement individualised learning programmes and support each student in their personal endeavours.
As a result, we can ensure that each girl who enters Selwyn House School develops into a confident individual who understands how they learn best, appreciates their individual strengths and believes in their unique abilities.

We take our responsibility as educators very seriously at Selwyn House and take pride in the fact that we are developing the kind of problem-solvers, leaders, and critical thinkers that our world needs.
