New Model School Company

A company focused on establishing low-fee independent primary schools with a Christian ethos, operating on a not-for-profit basis. We aim to provide a first-class traditional education, with a focus on developing a positive attitude to learning, at as low a fee as possible. NMS runs 2 low-fee independent primary schools (Maple Walk School in Harlesden and Faraday School in Tower Hamlets) in London, UK with a total of 250 pupils. NMS is committed to giving every child a first-class traditional education in the arts and sciences, drawing as a resource upon the Core Knowledge approach which imparts knowledge through traditional academic subjects. Using the Core Knowledge approach as a base we aim to achieve excellence in the teaching of core subjects - in particular English and maths – plus excellence in all other subjects such as science, language, history and geography. All NMS children also enjoy drama, art, music and sport. We call this approach “Excellence plus.” Longer term, our aim is not just to set up a single successful school, but to provide a replicable model of excellent and affordable schools which will improve the lives of many children and their families.
