Our teachers inspire the children with their enthusiasm and energy, and with their outstanding teaching ability and experience they encourage each child to succeed.
Children enter the Prep School in Year 4 when they are approaching the age of eight.
The academic curriculum is focussed on Common Entrance Examinations in Year 8 which determine entry into senior independent schools. Each year a significant number of pupils succeed in winning academic, all-rounder, sport, music and art scholarships and awards to their chosen schools.
The children study a core of academic subjects which include French, Spanish, Latin and the Sciences. These more traditional disciplines are complemented by contemporary subjects such as ICT (Information and Computer Technology) and the Creative Arts of Music, Drama and Art & Craft.
All of our teaching staff receive regular training to help them identify and guide children who may need additional help. Individual Learning Support lessons in numeracy and literacy are given to the children during the school day.
