The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework
The EYFS framework is the statutory document that provides adults with a structure through which they can monitor children’s progress and ensure that any gaps in a child’s learning are addressed. The framework comprises seven areas of learning and the important characteristics that ensure that children develop positive attitudes to learning.

Pre Prep (Forms I and II)
At Griffin House School we aim to ensure that every child can be the very best version of themselves. The Pre Prep is situated within the main school building and is an extremely happy, stimulating and secure environment for our pupils to continue their education whilst being able to enjoy the wonderful facilities used by the rest of the school such as the tennis court, the woods, the field and the outdoor classroom.

Prep School (Years III - V)
At Griffin House School we will lay the foundations for your child to be a confident, aspirational and resilient learner. Within the prep department our aims are: To ensure that every pupil is happy, confident and secure. To provide a stimulating environment where each child fosters a love of learning.

Form VI
At the top end of our Prep department, Form VI is a year which further prepares your child to be confident, enthusiastic and ready for their next step in education. There are many opportunities for your child to take on new challenges and contribute to school life in order to promote a deeper sense of responsibility, confidence and respect. Your child will be encouraged to take on roles such as head of house, eco council, librarian and many others.

It encourages them to continue questioning, exploring and teasing out new ideas and ways of living and thinking. Drama is not about being the best performer or the next Hollywood star, it is about creating and making, exploring and responding in the search for our true selves and for meaningful connections with others and the world around us. 

Clubs
After the lessons end, the vibrant and diverse extra-curricular program kicks in with a termly timetable of sporting, artistic, educational and above all fun activities for children to choose from.

Outdoor Learning
