Independent, affordable music-led education starts here

Music is the very heart of everything we do here; from daily lessons to our outreach work in schools and the wider community. Other essential skills that you might associate with music - such as listening, teamwork, trust, relationships - all of these life skills inform the way our staff teach and how we fundamentally build our curriculum.

Sally Alexander MBE, Founder & Head Teacher

Kimichi School ensures that our students learn for life. Our teaching gives them the knowledge they need to prepare for their future.

We use a variety of additional study methods, offering a more inclusive form of teaching, to provide students with a better chance of success. This teaching approach is particularly designed to match the students' different learning types. With our 'home school feel' we encourage flexibility within lessons, and allow teachers to be as creative as possible with their teaching approach.

Our small classes and expectations of peer learning and assessment enable students to apply their learning in a practical way. Our Tracking, Assessment and Marking Policies underpin all learning and teaching within the school. The teacher's role here is to provide inspiration and encourage the pupils to create their own study groups within the class. Students can therefore determine the content and methodology in their study group. Kimichi believes absolutely in the principle of students helping each other, as demonstrated through Orchestral rehearsal principles where the more able assist those less technically proficient. To coin a phrase, we really feel that we are all 'in it together'.
