From Year 3 to Year 6, we guide your child as they grow from early learners into confident, independent pupils ready for Senior School. Inside the classroom Mathematics, English and the Humanities are taught by your child’s Form Teacher in small classes which allow for every pupil to thrive. PE lessons are taken by a Prep PE specialist who leads lessons and organizes fixtures in Hockey, Netball, Football, Swimming, Dance, Athletics, Tennis, Cricket and more. Music, Science, Art, Computing, Design Technology and French are also taken by specialist teachers. Co-curricular fun As well as a wealth of clubs to choose from, many pupils decide to stay beyond the end of the school day to enjoy extra-curricular activities together. These include Prep Orchestra, Ballet – Tap – Modern Dance, a range of sports clubs, Horse Riding, Speech & Drama and Young Investigators. If your child does not wish to take advantage of these, our free wrap around care until 1800 gives your child an opportunity to do their homework at school and to play with their friends supervised by our able team of After School Club Staff. When your child reaches the end of the Prep, their teachers work closely with Senior School staff to make sure that the transition into Year 7 is seamless, ensuring an appropriate leap in independence without undue anxiety for the pupils or their parents at this important point in your child’s educational journey.
