Prep School, encompassing Infants (Reception-Year 2) and Juniors (Year 3-Year 6), offers a dynamic education that balances robust academics with a rich co-curricular programme. Guided by the sector-leading Round Square educational framework, rooted in Kurt Hahn's philosophy, we prioritize holistic character development.
Our curriculum nurtures a love for learning, with specialist teaching in:
- Investigative Science and Coding
- Creative Humanities, exploring subjects in depth through cross-curricular alignment, creative writing, field trips, and art.
- Creative Arts (Drama, Art, Music) from specialist teachers, fostering a strong performance culture from assemblies to concerts and plays.
- Modern Languages (French, Spanish, German) by specialist teachers.
Sport is integral to our commitment to physical and mental wellbeing. We boast outstanding success in hockey and excel in rugby, football, netball, athletics, cricket, rounders, and tennis.
Character education is central to our students' emotional, personal, and social growth. The Round Square Discovery Framework inspires self-awareness, personal responsibility, teamwork, and resilience, reinforced by annual residential trips from Year 3. We encourage leadership, compassion, and integrity, supported by a vast co-curricular programme of over 45 weekly clubs in sports, creative pursuits, and academics.
