Our prep children, whilst still benefiting from the secure setting of their classroom, enjoy access to our dedicated and more specialised teaching areas including a state-of-the-art Science Laboratory, fully equipped IT Suite (where each child has his/her own email address), Art and Design Technology Suite and Music Department which has recently benefited from the addition of computerised music composition facilities.
Children at this level commence the thorough preparation for Secondary Education and as they progress, lessons are taught by subject specialists even though they will still have a Form Teacher to deal with pastoral issues.
As we start to see children developing, we are aware of each child’s attributes, strengths, areas where more attention is required and, in some cases, aspirations. We are therefore able to structure each child’s learning more specifically. Additionally, children are encouraged to take responsibility particularly when they become School Prefects. They must use their initiative under close supervision and guidance thereby ensuring that this important aspect of growing up is carefully structured.
Help and guidance are given regarding future schools and the children are prepared for a wide variety of entrance examinations and assessments.
