Facilities
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
In the Nursery, children develop their personal, emotional and social skills as well as early learning skills in communication and language development, physical development, literacy, mathematics understanding the world and expressive arts and design. Planning, assessment and recording is based on these seven areas of learning and parents receive regular verbal and written reports on their child’s progress. A range of stimulating and enjoyable activities are offered every day and a summary of the weekly plan is sent out to parents in advance each week. The children experience many opportunities beyond the curriculum and curriculum-linked visits enhance their learning. We maintain a high ratio of dedicated and well qualified early years staff and the children also benefit from the expertise of specialist staff in lessons such as Spanish, Music and Physical Education.
Pre Prep (Years 1 & 2)
The children come into our Pre Prep department, excited and ready to learn after a fantastic start to their educational journey in the Early Years. Our provision for children in Years 1 and 2 builds on the EYFS curriculum and follows key elements of the National Curriculum. It is an enhanced and creative programme and includes additional specialist activities and lessons. Teaching and learning opportunities promote active engagement, depth of learning and motivation. In addition, small class sizes are hugely effective in providing a high level of focused teacher involvement with each child.
Prep (Years 3 – 6)
Highly qualified teachers, together with small class sizes provide the best possible education for each and every child in the Prep department. The Prep provides children with a happy and caring community in which to grow and learn. Curiosity thrives in a vibrant and forward thinking co-educational environment. High expectations permeate the Prep and it is an ideal place to develop a life-long love of learning.
