Prep Admissions ages 5-10
Our Prep School is deeply connected to the wider school, giving even our youngest pupils access to Senior School opportunities. With small class sizes, excellent facilities, and a close-knit community, we nurture curious minds and enrich their learning experience. Our co-curricular programme, including sport and language, helps make Prep School an inspiring place to grow.
Choosing the right school and securing the right support is a big decision. Our Admissions Team is here to ensure a seamless process, whether your child is starting school or joining us later.
Our curriculum is designed to foster confident, lifelong learners. Reception pupils follow the Early Years Foundation Stage, and from Prep 1 to 6, we use the National Curriculum as the foundation for teaching. We enhance learning through small classes, a high teacher-to-pupil ratio, and access to classroom assistants for 1:1 or group support.
As children move through Prep, they engage more with the Senior School, participating in lessons such as Science, Languages, the Arts, and Sport, embracing opportunities that prepare them for the future.
