Shrewsbury House Pre-Preparatory School offers an excellent educational experience to both boys and girls aged between 3 and 7. The early years are so important, as they provide the foundation for life; not just academically but socially and emotionally. We pride ourselves at Shrewsbury House Pre-Prep in developing the whole child against a background of academic excellence in a loving and caring environment.The school is small enough to ensure that each child is known to all members of staff and is valued as an individual. We know their likes and dislikes, what their strengths are and how we can best support them on their academic journey. Each member of our staff is committed to helping our children achieve their goals and realise their full potential. Our children are encouraged to take advantage of the countless opportunities presented to them and to grow as individuals academically, socially and emotionally.
Facilities
The Early Years (Nursery and Reception)
The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) provides the children with the skills necessary to have the best possible start to life. Here, your child will embrace and direct their learning through a combination of play-based and adult supported learning.The EYFS naturally lends itself to a creative curriculum filled with awe and wonder. Your child will be encouraged to become an independent explorer who engages with their environment. A focus on personal and social development is key in developing happy individuals with a sense of belonging and self-efficacy. Each child is valued, with learning experiences tailored according to their development and needs.
Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2)
They recognise that the transition from Reception to Year 1 needs to be smooth, to provide continuity and consistency for the children.Teachers spend time in both phases during key points in the year, to ensure that your child will be well prepared and ready to embark on the next phase of their learning. Our close, nurturing environment across the School ensures that teachers know your child well before they join them in the later years.
Forest School
All the children at Shrewsbury House Pre-Preparatory School enjoy regular Forest School sessions in the small dedicated woodland area within the grounds of the school playing field.Forest School provides a range of outdoor experiences and adventures that encourage our children to develop as individuals within a safe, secure and inspiring woodland setting.The child-centred, play-based experiences introduced in the sessions help to nurture resilient, confident and creative learners. Your child’s own thoughts and ideas guide and inspire the activities, providing opportunities to develop their confidence and independence through curiosity and investigation. Forest School provides the space and freedom to explore using multiple senses and this is key to developing communication, team- building and problem-solving skills.
