WELCOME

Welcome to Harrow Bangkok Pre Prep

We aim to make the transition from the Early Years a smooth and seamless one. Our Pre Prep department has a committed, dynamic, talented teaching team and a curriculum that is unique to Harrow Bangkok, blending best practice from around the world.

We are blessed with wonderful facilities for our students to spend this next phase of their childhood. Our modern classrooms are complemented by a beautiful ‘garden’ campus and world-class sports facilities. Equally impressive are the creative and performing arts spaces where individual interests and talents can blossom. Housed within the Pre Prep are also specialist science and computing areas, extensive playgrounds and a nature garden. All of this enables us to provide exceptional learning experiences: eco projects, robotics, music and drama performances, art exhibitions as well as intellectual stimulation with activities like chess and debating.

Our school is at the forefront of the latest developments in education as the first and only school in Bangkok involved in the prestigious High Performance Learning programme. This programme ensures that the latest neurological and psychological research is applied by our teachers to develop our students’ thinking skills and learner behaviours and deliver high levels of academic performance.

Our approach to learning is through enquiry and collaboration. Our aim is to develop curious minds and a keenness to learn as well as to cultivate in our students the ability to think critically and show independent thought.

‘Educational Excellence for Life and Leadership’ is more than just a motto, it is the underlying principle in all that we do in Pre Prep. We believe that while academic performance is important, equal to this is instilling values, attitudes and leadership attributes in our young Harrovians.

Given this, our Pre Prep community is acutely conscious of the importance of ‘service’, duty and care to the local and wider community. Our Leadership and Service Curriculum ensures that our children discover the value and pleasure in giving something back and learn to become truly global citizens.

Our knowledgeable and dedicated team of staff are passionate about what they do. We invest in a comprehensive professional development programme that attracts and retains the brightest and best teachers.

Our staff are happy to answer any further questions you may have, as we know that a true education can only be gained by a partnership between teachers and parents. We seek your full cooperation

in all that we do and assure you that everything we do is always in the best interests of your child.

The Pre Prep phase offers the perfect setting for your children to flourish and develop as happy, resilient, compassionate and creative young people and I look forward to sharing the journey with you!

Mike Godwin Acting Head of Lower School

Pre Prep is an extremely important phase in a child’s development. Core skills such as reading and writing are given the opportunity to flourish, building on the firm foundations which have been laid in the Early Years. Students are provided with an engaging, exciting and challenging curriculum as well as a wide variety of incredible opportunities outside the classroom in order for them to become our leaders of the future. The result of this is an astonishing rate of progress in terms of social, emotional and academic development.

Our teaching teams use themes to drive learning opportunities and stimulate minds. This is completed through the asking of questions and enabling children to think critically about what it is that they are learning and focusing on our High Performance Learning thinking skills. Meaning that by the time our pupils move to Prep, they will have been introduced to and developed the skills they will need to flourish in life. My role is to ensure that all (students and staff) operate in a school where we care, team up, respect, go for it, wonder, create and practise. We aim to create an environment where every person is valued and every step to success is celebrated. A place where pupils feel safe and supported and are therefore able to thrive academically.

We inspire students to be the best that they can be, we encourage them to be masters of their own learning and we support them in their journey to Educational Excellence for Life and Leadership.
