Reception marks the beginning of something special at Langley School. Our Pre-Prep is known for its warmth and its nurturing environment, guiding little ones through that step up from Nursery to school. We are committed to making it a seamless transition for your child and your family, because we know how important these milestones are.
Excitingly, every child in Pre-Prep takes part in daily Maths and Literacy, plus weekly PE, swimming, music, dance and hobby sessions, all using the fantastic facilities we have on site. In fact, our heated indoor swimming pool is a stone’s throw from the Pre-Prep playground, complete with its monkey bars and swings!
In the morning, emphasis is on core skills including daily reading, before a topic-based approach in the afternoon, plus sports, languages, outdoor learning in our ancient woodland and creative arts.
Pre-Prep children learn French, Technology and Computing – to name a few – and get to enjoy the incredible 100 acres that surround them. It really is a unique place, and one that parents describe as “such a nurturing environment.”
Parents also talk about the level of support that their child gets, and the close community between staff, parents and children. They describe their children as “more independent” as they move into Reception and beyond. Parents have seen their child “flourish” at Langley and, for us, that is the ultimate reward.
As much as pupils are challenged and supported in Reception, we know that every child is an individual, so finding the learning techniques that are right for them is essential. At Langley, we promise to know your child for who they are, and its often in Reception that we see them start to thrive, which puts them in the prefect position for a budding beginning to their school journey.
“Starting here in the Nursery and Pre-Prep, pupil well-being is at the heart of everything we do and we want our children to be happy, confident, curious and importantly, kind.”
