Nursery focuses on early development and learning through play, while Prep builds strong foundations across a broader curriculum and prepares pupils for Senior School.
Transition is supported carefully so children feel confident moving into the next stage. Staff work closely with families to ensure children settle well and feel prepared.
Prep builds strong academic and personal foundations so pupils are ready for the next stage. As pupils approach transition, support is in place to help them feel familiar with routines and expectations. Our Year 7 transition programme is extensive with plenty of opportunities for pupils to make friends and get to know the senior school environment before starting Year 7.
Fees information is available on the Fees page. Admissions can help with any questions and the most relevant entry route for your child.
