# Our Founding Aims

We are proud to be different. We were founded by parents with a vision of providing an outstanding and enriching academic education, rooted in Christian values and ethos, that offered the opportunity for a bilingual education beyond the private sector.

At Saint Jerome we offer a highly ambitious partial immersion bilingual curriculum
experience. We deliver the National Curriculum for England with the opportunity to develop a love and confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing in French. Aspects of the curriculum are learnt in French and cultural awareness and experiences are gained all through the year. Our aims are ambitious and stretch well beyond the requirements of the national curriculum, offering the well documented benefits to children of early exposure to
a second language.

###  Our School Day

 Our school day is from **8:45am to 3.30pm** for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and **3.40pm** for Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6.

 We have a soft start from **8.30am**.
