The Treehouse School

The Treehouse School in Cholsey is a unique, independent, non-fee-paying school dedicated to providing an exceptional, child-centred education. Operated by The Treehouse Trust, a registered charity, the school is designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and lifelong learning in every child. It is built on principles of sustainability, inclusivity, and community engagement. Sustainability is at the heart of The Treehouse School’s mission. The curriculum emphasises environmental awareness, resource conservation, and the importance of contributing to a greener future. Pupils actively participate in monitoring the school’s energy usage, reducing food waste, and contributing to eco-friendly initiatives. A new eco-school project is underway, aimed at significantly reducing the institution’s carbon footprint. As a charitable organisation, The Treehouse Trust relies on donations and fundraising to maintain and enhance its offerings. The school does not charge fees, ensuring accessibility to families regardless of financial circumstances. With a small, dedicated staff and a network of volunteers, the school fosters a supportive and nurturing environment for both pupils and the local community. The curriculum is holistic, balancing academic subjects with developmental domains such as emotional health, artistic expression, and entrepreneurial skills. Daily routines include physical activities, healthy lifestyle practices, and community-based projects. Situated in the heart of the village, the school encourages walking or cycling to minimise environmental impact while creating meaningful connections within the local area. Through its innovative approach to education and sustainability, The Treehouse School aims to empower children to thrive academically, socially, and environmentally. Above all, we want all children to love going to school and love learning.
