Who Are We?
We see that high expectations breed academic excellence. We strive to give all of our pupils a strong sense of independence, optimism and resilience. And above all, an excitement about the world of ideas!
PUPIL CENTRED LEARNING
We understand that happy, confident children learn best. We focus on creating an environment which promotes deep and memorable learning.
BRITISH TRAINED STAFF
We follow the British National Curriculum, but we interpret it creatively and dynamically with an emphasis on personalising each lesson.
SMALL CLASSES
Our small class sizes make for strong teacher-pupil bonds; honed expectations and supportive learning plan for each pupil.
SAPLINGS / EARLY YEARS
A warm, caring, environment for our youngest pupils.
Very high teacher-to-child ratio, giving children the space and attention to be curious, learn and grow.

In small classes, children begin to develop creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
They learn through collaboration, compassion and hands-on learning.
SECONDARY
A balance of high academic expectations coupled with creativity for 11 to 16 year-olds.
Small class sizes for individual attention and opportunity for in-depth investigation.
100% GCSE pass rate.

High academic expectations
Welcome to our much-loved school for 3-16 year-olds, now in its second decade!
We founded The Olive Tree in a cosy ground floor of a house in Sitges to provide a school that was warm, caring and with high academic expectations.
Now, many years later, we have spacious premises with beautiful grassy gardens, a science lab, two ICT suites, an airy art studio, two large, full libraries, two outdoor classrooms, two thriving vegetable plots and an indoor and an outdoor theatre.
However, we have remained true to our original values. Those centre on high expectations for all children leading to academic excellence. We guide every pupil on their path to developing a spirit of independence, optimism and innovation. We inspire our pupils with an excitement for the world of ideas!
