Classrooms for the Pre-Prep are spacious, attractive and well resourced. Children benefit from access to a well equipped library, ICT suite and excellent sports facilities including a gym, sports hall and swimming pool.

The family atmosphere within the school is created by friendly, welcoming staff and lively, happy children. Parents are encouraged to become involved in the life of the school and work in partnership with teachers and staff.

Teaching and Learning

Children are taught in small classes, mainly by their class teacher and supported by teaching assistants. They also benefit from specialist teachers for PE, music and French.

The concept of adventurous learning that brings out the best in everyone is underpinned throughout the daily routine.

Children learn through exploration and enquiry and the creative curriculum enables all children to fulfil their potential, academically, creatively, physically and socially. As the children work both independently and collaboratively they develop a real love of learning and the skills to make them life long learners.
