West Barnet

Peacham people are passionate about their school! There is great support for education in this town. The school is small, which lends itself to real connection between the teachers and students. The teachers team up on projects, so there is great inter-disciplinary opportunities. One of my favorite scenes is watching the big, tough six graders sitting cross legged with the pre-school kids, reading them a picture book or drawing a picture of the snow. The school has a beautiful nature trail and school garden. There is support for nature-based and project-based learning. There is a world-class observatory right next door. And parents can get involved and enact change.
