Pre-Prep Introduction

The first few years  are so important in developing a positive attitude to school and to learning. The combination of small classes and an experienced staff creates a friendly, stimulating and secure environment in which pupils lay down firm foundations in literacy and numeracy, on which they can build in future years.

The children are encouraged to concentrate on the task in hand and to behave in a way that benefits the whole community, to treat others in a way that they would wish to be treated themselves.

The self-contained, purpose-built pre-prep and nursery provides an ideal setting for both learning and playing. Pupils also make full use of the sports complex and the theatre in the prep school. Pupils are encouraged to make significant progress in these early years. At the same time, we recognise that children develop at different rates and in diverse ways and so teachers need to be sensitive to each individual.  Success is celebrated and achievement in the classroom is rewarded.
