A balanced and enriching prep journey

Specialist Teaching

From Prep 5 onwards, children benefit from specialist teaching in PE, Music, Science, Art and French, while class teachers guide them through the remainder of the curriculum. This balance allows pupils to build strong relationships with their form teacher while gaining fresh inspiration from subject specialists.

Trips & Enrichment

Our Prep children enjoy an active and exciting curriculum. Sport is a particular strength, with superb facilities at Silksworth where pupils take part in tennis, swimming, skiing, athletics and football, supported by specialist sports coaches.

Every term includes an educational trip linked to classroom learning, helping pupils deepen their understanding through hands on experiences.

Our approach to learning
