Pre-Prep Curriculum

Excellence is there for the taking.

In Pre-Prep, we encourage children to become independent, committed and enthusiastic learners by providing them with a wide range of interesting and challenging activities, combined with a broad and balanced curriculum.

Teaching Assistants within Reception are placed one per class. In Year 1 and Year 2, the Teaching Assistants are placed where they are needed and spend time in different classrooms each day.

Excellence Is There For The Taking

Year 1 and 2 children follow the National Curriculum and have daily numeracy and literacy lessons. Topics range from transport to the weather and from the Great Fire of London to life and work in Victorian times. Children also receive tuition in Music, Dance, PE, French and Computing. At the end of the Trinity Term, parents are invited to the hugely popular annual French breakfast event for Year 2 children.

Drama is another important part of the Pre-Prep curriculum and all children are encouraged to become confident performers; they take part in plays, class assemblies, house competitions and music concerts.

Opportunities Around Every Corner

From the very beginning, all Pre-Prep children attend morning assemblies, which provide opportunities for spiritual, moral and PSHEE learning. In every classroom, we have interactive whiteboards to enhance the learning experience and stimulate young minds. Outside in our 100 acres of grounds, our Outdoor Learning Centre allows us to offer all our children a very adventurous and challenging learning experience. Specific topics in Reception include looking at the seasons, farming, birds and sea life.
