The Pre-Preparatory Department

The Pre-Preparatory school is open to boys and girls between the ages of four and seven years.

Environment
Situated in the attractive, extended Walmsley House we aim to provide a happy and stimulating environment in which children enjoy learning and are encouraged to do their best and to be independent, active learners who are able to work co-operatively and participate in activities across the curriculum.

Reception children enjoy spacious, well-resourced accomodation on the ground floor. Classrooms for Prep 1 and Prep 2 are also large and well-equipped and our hall accomodates the teaching of physical education, drama, extra-curricular activities and performances. The library is well-stocked and a popular venue for story times and our ICT suite enhances teaching in all subjects.

Curriculum

We focus on developing sound literacy and numeracy skills and encourage high standards in all curriculum areas. We benefit from specialist staff in music, physical education, swimming and German.

Throughout the year we enjoy a series of "Creative Challenge" weeks, each having a particular subject focus with a range of challenging, fun activities for all pupils to fulfil our aim of excellence and enjoyment through creativity.
