THE CURRICULUM IN LOWER PREP

We have a lively curriculum designed to inspire young minds. We believe that children learn best when they are finding out for themselves and learning from mistakes. Each term, a curriculum overview will be put into your child’s home-school diary explaining what your child is learning and allowing you to support your child at home.

Lower Prep form tutors will provide consistency, care and excellence in teaching the core subjects: English, Maths, Science and Engineering, Computing and Digital Literacy, and Discovery, a thematic approach that combines the subjects of History, Geography and Religious Studies.

The children are taught by specialist teachers for Performing Arts, Art, Craft and Design, Languages, Games, PE and Outdoor Education. The children move to subject-based classrooms for some of these lessons. Rooms include a Sports Hall, STEAM Centre, Performing Arts classroom, Dance and Drama Studio and Cookery Room.

The day-to-day curriculum is enriched through trips, visitors and whole school events such as Languages Day and STEAM week, where pupils take part in themed activities that provide inspiration and encourage collaboration.

Our facilities offer a wide range of exciting indoor and outdoor learning areas. We also have use of an outdoor swimming pool, library, riding arena, tennis courts, adventure playground and our Forest School.
