Facilities
Little Denes Pre-School
You and your child will receive a warm and friendly welcome at the beginning of your session at Little Denes Pre-School. Your child’s day will begin with Busy Bee Time, where the children can choose their own activities, supported and guided by their teachers, so that they can gain as much from their play as possible. As the day continues, play becomes more structured, and our teachers guide your child’s learning. Depending on the weather, activities can take place either indoors or outdoors, helping to ensure your child’s constant engagement and stimulation whilst learning.
Pre Prep School
The most important aspect of the Pre Prep School Department is that your child makes a smooth transition from the Early Years in Little Denes to main school life. As your child nears the time to move up to Reception, they organise a number of transition days for parents and children to attend. This familiarises them with their new teacher, daily routines and learning environment. Your child will always be warmly welcomed by their class teacher at Haddon Dene. Although our days are structured to allow your child to develop a school routine, we aim to intersperse their taught lessons with activities and hands on learning. This ensures that your child is continually engaged throughout their school day, and becomes inspired to achieve academic excellence.
Prep
They aim to equip your child for their future, Building on from your child’s progress in Pre- Prep School, your child will continue to benefit from the strength of the specialist subject teacher’s knowledge. Your child will experience a variety of trips, and the opportunity for active, hands on learning to supplement their classroom teaching. Your child will have the opportunity to join a number of lunchtime and after school clubs so that they can further develop their sporting and academic interests.
