Facilities
Nursery
The Kingscourt adventure begins in nursery, where they welcome three and four-year-olds into Caterpillars and Butterflies respectively. A play based curriculum is enhanced by daily opportunities to practice and learn new skills. Specialist sessions include ‘green gardeners’, rhyme and rhythm, outdoor explorers and mighty movers.
Pre-Prep (Reception, Year 1, Year 2)
They provide a safe and secure foundation in learning and development for the Pre-Prep children respecting that all children are unique and learn in different ways. They ensure that the children are able to make lots of use of our spectacular 25 acres of outside space for their outdoor learning. This age group is often referred to as Key Stage 1.
Prep (Years 3, 4, 5, 6)
The curriculum is broad and balanced, preparing the children to leave us as confident, robust, well-rounded individuals taking with them fond memories of their time spent at Kingscourt.The next stage of a Kingscourt education is to offer increased opportunities for specialist teaching whilst maintaining the essential core English and Maths skills. The Prep timetable includes Science, Drama, Music and Spanish alongside Computing, Art and PSHE as part of their weekly timetables. You may be familiar with this age group being referred to as Key Stage 2.
Outdoor Learning
They make great use of the beautiful outdoor space we have here at Kingscourt, for learning as well as sport and play. Outdoor Learning at Kingscourt is about exploring and experiencing the natural world through practical activities. Children go out in all weathers, all year round. Dedicated sessions take place weekly for all children from Nursery to Year 4, but opportunities to be outdoors occur daily. These sessions include den building, knot tying, exploring textures and materials, planting, growing and monitoring seasonal change.

Things to note
Music & drama
Every child here has the chance to express themselves creatively and to explore and use their imagination. They want every child to experience the magic of music, whether accomplished musician or complete beginner. The outdoor music space, complete with rustic instruments, is the perfect place to spark creativity and start a musical journey.
Sport
The Physical Education and Games programme at Kingscourt aims to put into place the building blocks which help our children to enjoy a broad range of sports with competence and confidence. All of the staff contribute to the PE and sports lessons and extra curricular activities, not just the PE staff; this sends a strong message that sport is for all.
Learning support
They recognise that responsibility for Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEN & D) is a whole school matter. All of the staff, supported by the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) and the Senior Leadership Team, take into account any requirements and make provision, where necessary, to support individuals or groups of children enabling them to participate effectively in the curriculum and activities.
Extra curricular
An exceptional education is of course one of the key things that makes Kingscourt such a great place for your child to go to school but there is much more to Kingscourt. The extensive extra curricular programme contributes to personal development and most importantly enjoyment. They enrich the academic curriculum throughout the year with over 23 activities, from sports clubs to natural crafts to Lego club, to suit the diverse interests the children enjoy.
