Argyle House School is not just another independent school. It is an institution deeply rooted in family values. We believe those values are an integral part for the successful growth of the next generation.
Our entry points
Argyle House offers clear entry points throughout a child’s education, welcoming children from 6 months at Little Crickets Sunderland (ages 6 months–4), continuing into Prep School (age 4 to 11) with the main intake at Reception, and progressing to Senior School from (ages 11 to 16), where pupils complete their GCSEs and develop academically and personally.
Confident learners for life
The curriculum helps pupils to develop and extend their knowledge and understanding so that they are prepared effectively for the next stage of their education.
A warm welcome
A very warm welcome from Head, Mr John Sample.
At Argyle House School our aim is to provide pupils with an all-round education in a supportive environment where every child feels safe, happy, cared for and valued as an individual. Pupils at Argyle House achieve the highest academic standards but we believe that education is far more than simply the acquisition of examination results. Our dedicated staff are highly qualified and experienced classroom practitioners. They are extremely committed to inspiring pupils to aim high and achieve their full potential. We encourage independent learning, a community spirit, and we empower students to embrace responsibility and learn to celebrate diversity in a spirit of understanding and tolerance that helps them become better global citizens.
