Prep Curriculum

The Prep Department (Years Three to Six)

The curriculum continues to be in line with National Curriculum requirements but our small classes and specialist teaching allows us to deliver much more besides. Whilst largely class-based still in Year 3, pupils of this age are taught French and Science by specialists with the Science Teacher having her own science laboratory, and IT begins to form an increased part of their weekly timetable. In Years 4, 5 and 6 pupils are taught by subject specialists across the entire curriculum range, with History, Geography and Religious Education being taught as separate subjects. Results are not everything but our performance in the Key Stage 2 tests bears comparison with the very best.

Testimonials

"We were so impressed with the quality of teaching in the Pre-prep department. Our son absolutely loved it and all his teachers were so caring and committed. We always felt able to talk to his teachers at any time. Our son has now joined the Preparatory Department and we are thrilled at the opportunities that now lie ahead for him."
Mr and Mrs Fagg
