High March consists of three school houses set in pleasant grounds. Junior House comprises Nursery and Key Stage 1 classes, ages 3–7 years, while Upper School covers Key Stage 2, ages 7–11 years. Class sizes are limited. Facilities include a state-of-the-art, 20-metre indoor heated swimming pool, a gymnasium, as well as Science, Music, Art, Design Technology, Drama, Information Technology rooms and a library. Recent refurbishments include re-landscaping of the gardens at Junior House as well as an extensive re-design of the outdoor classrooms for both Nursery and Reception.
High March is within easy reach of London, High Wycombe, Windsor and within a few minutes’ walk of Beaconsfield Station.
Under a large and highly qualified staff and within a happy atmosphere, the girls are prepared for Common Entrance and Scholarships to Independent Senior Schools and for the 11+ County Selection process. All subjects including French, Spanish, Latin, Music, Art, Technology, Speech and Drama, Dancing, Gymnastics, Games and Swimming are in the hands of specialists. The academic record is high but each child is nevertheless encouraged to develop individual talents.
