PRE PREP DEPARTMENT AND NURSERY
Very young children have a natural curiosity and enthusiasm and they aim to harness these qualities through an active, stimulating, happy and secure Pre Prep environment, in which our children can flourish into confident, well-prepared and highly motivated learners. At the same time we help them to develop into sociable and balanced individuals with good manners, self discipline, honesty and consideration for others.The Pre Prep Department caters for children aged between 3 and 7 years. The Department includes a Nursery for children aged 3-4 years, four Reception classes (ages 4-5), three Year 1 classes (ages 5-6) and three Year 2 classes (aged 6-7). The Pre Prep includes the beautiful Georgian house, a brand new Nursery and communal area, as well as the newly built ‘Nest’ which is home to our Year 2 children.
PREP DEPARTMENT
Children in Years 3-8 need the opportunity to experience a wide variety of academic, practical and physical activities so that they can develop an extensive range of skills and discover where their talents lie. In the Prep Department, generous amounts of time are given over to physical and practical activities, whilst also ensuring that high standards are maintained in academic subjects. The Year 3 pupils continue to receive much of their education from their form teacher, as this provides an important supportive environment, but they benefit from the expertise of specialist subject teachers in French, DT, ICT, Music, PE and Games. From Year 5, pupils receive all of their education from specialist subject teachers.

Things to note
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
A major strength of the School is the breadth of our extra-curricular provision and the fact that all pupils are encouraged to participate in as wide a range of activities as possible.One of the principal aims is to educate the children highly and widely so that they are fully ready for the next stages of their education and lives, and equipped to make a valuable contribution to their next schools. To do this they have created an extensive programme of activities that happen every day before school, during the lunch breaks and after school. To ensure maximum participation, year group concerts and drama productions are produced along with more conventional plays, musicals and concerts involving the whole school. In addition to a fine orchestra, children can join a wide variety of choirs and instrumental groups. On the sports field, a similar philosophy exists as we seek to involve everyone in matches against other schools, regardless of their ability.
