About us

One campus, and what is on it

Everything is on a single site in Kokomlemle — which means a child moves from Creche to Basic 9 without ever changing school, and a parent with three children makes one drop-off.

What is here

Nine places your child will use every week

Ask to see any of them on a tour, on an ordinary working day, without notice.

The ICT laboratory with desktop computers at each workstation

01

ICT laboratory

Thirty-four workstations — one per pupil for every Computing lesson from Basic 4.

Upgraded in January 2026 so that no pupil has to share a machine. Every pupil from Basic 4 has their own login on a filtered network, and password practice is taught as a topic in the first week of Basic 4.

  • 34 workstations
  • 1 per pupil, Basic 4 upwards
  • Filtered network
  • Coding club on Fridays
The science laboratory benches set up for a practical

02

Science laboratory

A working laboratory where Integrated Science is taught with apparatus, not diagrams.

Opened in 2023. Junior High pupils have a practical every week from Basic 7, and Upper Primary shares the laboratory for one practical a fortnight. Bench space for twenty-five, with gas, water and a fume cupboard.

  • Benches for 25
  • Weekly JHS practicals
  • Fortnightly Upper Primary use
  • Full apparatus store
The library with low shelves and a reading corner

03

Library and reading corner

Levelled readers for guided reading, plus a Ghanaian fiction collection.

Books are organised by reading level rather than by age, so a child always takes home something they can actually read. The PTA library appeal is currently raising funds to double the collection.

  • Levelled readers
  • Ghanaian authors section
  • Open at break and after school
  • PTA appeal under way
Pupils playing on the astroturf pitch the school uses for sport

04

Sports pitch

A full-size astroturf pitch, a short walk from school, for PE, football and sports day.

The school does not have a field of its own — the site is compact and every square metre of it is classroom, courtyard or playground. Instead we hire a full-size astroturf pitch nearby for PE, football fixtures and the annual inter-house sports day, and the children walk down to it together.

  • Full-size astroturf
  • Weekly PE
  • Football fixtures
  • Sports day
The wooden playhouse and yellow slide in the school playground

05

Preschool playground

A separate, enclosed play area for Creche, Nursery and Kindergarten.

Fenced and gated, with soft ground covering under every climbing frame, shaded throughout, and never shared with the older sections. Staff supervise at a ratio of one adult to eight children.

  • Enclosed and gated
  • Soft ground covering
  • Fully shaded
  • 1:8 supervision
The sick bay with two beds and a first-aid station

06

Clinic and sick bay

A registered nurse on site every school day, with two beds and a treatment room.

The school nurse holds every child's health record, immunisation history and allergy list, administers prescribed medication with written parental consent, and calls parents for anything beyond a scrape.

  • Registered nurse daily
  • Two beds
  • Full health records
  • Termly health talks
The school kitchen where the daily hot lunch is prepared

07

Kitchen and dining shed

A cooked Ghanaian lunch, prepared on site every day and included in the fees.

Jollof, waakye, banku and okro stew, rice and stew, kenkey — on a published four-week menu, with fruit daily. Kitchen staff hold food handlers' certificates and the kitchen is inspected termly.

  • Cooked on site
  • Four-week published menu
  • Special diets catered for
  • Termly inspection
The assembly hall set out for a Friday gathering

08

Assembly hall

Seats the whole Junior High section, and hosts PTA meetings and the inter-house quiz.

Used for wet-weather assembly, examinations, the inter-house quiz, PTA general meetings, and rehearsals for speech and prize-giving day.

  • Whole-JHS capacity
  • Examination hall
  • PTA meetings
  • Wet-weather assembly
The creche nap room with low cots and soft lighting

09

Creche rooms

A nap room, a changing room and a quiet play space for the youngest children.

Purpose-fitted for children from twelve months: low cots, a changing station, a milk fridge, and low shelving so that a one-year-old can reach their own toys. One carer to every five children.

  • From 12 months
  • 1:5 carer ratio
  • Nap room
  • Daily note home
