Our pre-prep department takes the children through reception and into years 1 and 2. Our small class sizes ensure we recognise every child's needs and can respond to them. Each child is treated as an individual and provided with the most appropriate support to enable them to achieve their potential.

We aim to develop happy, confident children who can move on to the rest of their education with a positive and enthusiastic attitude to school life. Our staff are dedicated to developing all the core skills your child will need to develop into strong, confident learners and succeed in the future.

Shared playing facilities and close contact with the Pre-Prep Department staff mean that children from the Nursery - but also from other settings - can easily make the transition to our delightful reception class. The reception and year one classrooms are set within the safe and pretty walled garden, providing a stimulating environment for exploration and learning.
