Pre-Prep School:
In our Pre-Prep Department, we endeavour to harness a young child's enthusiasm and curiosity by offering a curriculum that allows them to learn through guided play and practical experiences in their Reception Year. These activities are planned and implemented by gifted and well-qualified teachers with the help of enthusiastic teaching assistants. A sound start in the Reception class, consolidated by a slightly more formal approach to the curriculum as they move through Years 1 and 2, prepares children for entry into the Prep School at age 7+.

Prep School:
Year 3 is predominantly taught in its own designated teaching block, although they still use specialist rooms and receive specialist teachers for certain subjects. This allows for a gentle transition from the Pre-Prep as each form is taught by its form tutor, thus providing the pupils with a stable learning environment.

In Years 4 to Year 6 pupils are gradually introduced to a wider range of subjects, specialist rooms and teachers. They are expected to develop good organisational skills and they are prepared to a high standard for their move into the senior part of the school.

Years 7 and 8 sees the focus firmly switch to 13+ Common Entrance exams and Scholarships at the end of Year 8, to allow entry for pupils into their chosen senior schools. This rigorous academic course provides a very sound footing in all core subjects, and is something from which they can build on as they move into their next school.
