Facilities
NURSERY & PRE-PREP
In our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Department they provide a warm, calm and caring environment for our young children, where they feel happy, safe and secure and develop a sense of belonging. The pupils love coming to our Nursery and Reception. The children have fun and learn and develop in a well-planned and organised environment which offers stimulating and rich play opportunities, encourages independence and supports young children’s own efforts and achievements.As active, happy young learners, the children enjoy playing and exploring both indoors and outdoors. Through a broad range of planned teaching, child initiated and adult led experiences, they encourage the children to become enthusiastic and motivated learners who are confident in developing their ideas and following their individual interests.
PREP
They are passionate about helping the children to become independent, resilient and motivated learners. At Glyn House a broad, balanced and varied curriculum is offered to the children. Although they closely follow the National Curriculum they also have the flexibility to branch off at times and follow other areas of research and enquiry often capitalising on the children’s own interests. In addition to the core curriculum children follow a PSHEE programme each week and have a Philosophy for children lesson (P4C) every Monday morning.At Key Stage 2 children are taught in mixed ability groups, setting only for Maths. All teachers have high expectations of children, fully supporting them to reach their full potential via carefully planned differentiated lessons; children are encouraged to become independent learners by self-selecting appropriate challenges. In addition, the Year 6 children have the opportunity to attend some lessons at the Senior School, enjoying the benefits of a full Science Laboratory, Design and Technology and ICT suites.

Learning outside of the classroom is integral to our School curriculum. Each term classes will spend a day either outside of School, or in a workshop underpinning their learning. As an example Year 3 have been to ‘Horrible Histories’ live at Richmond theatre as part of their Egyptians topic, and spent a day at the ‘Living Rainforest’ during the Spring term. More information on our co-curricular trips can be found on the curriculum pages. In addition to class visits based on the topics of learning children can choose to attend an after school club every day. They have a range of co-curricular clubs available after school such as Art, Chess, Judo, Choir, cooking, Music groups, Board Games, Tennis, Drama, ICT, Hockey, Rugby, Football, to name but a few.
