Prep School
Our enquiry-based, cross-curricular approach embeds skills and knowledge by creating links to prior, future, and current learning. Led by the UK National Curriculum, we use the natural environment and resources to enrich each student’s experience and understanding of global culture. Every learning opportunity, whether it is in the classroom, outdoors, or through wider school life, is maximised to inspire, challenge, and nurture each child to thrive academically, and personally.
We use the digital world to help children experience the arts, current affairs, and significant events and people. Our curriculum is based on values that drive confidence, build character, promote social cohesion, celebrate diversity, and encourage thoughtfulness, kindness, and empathy.

Learners Enjoying Success
We prioritise tracking each child’s attainment and progress throughout Prep school. Teachers use a combination of ongoing observations and regular teacher assessments to build a detailed picture of each child’s development.
This is supported by CAT4 assessments (Cognitive Ability Tests) which provide valuable insights into a child’s learning potential, and a range of standardised assessments that allow us to benchmark progress against international expectations. By bringing these measures together, we can identify individual strengths, highlight areas for support, and ensure that every child is on a pathway to achieve their best.

Our Approach
Our approach to teaching is rooted in the British National Curriculum, designed to build knowledge and skills progressively in line with age-related expectations. In the lower years of Prep, learning is practical and hands-on, allowing children to explore, experiment, and engage their curiosity. As they move into the upper years, this naturally develops into greater independence, with a strong focus on study skills, critical thinking, and preparation for the next stage of education.
Children learn independently, in small groups, and as a whole class, with teachers tailoring their methods to suit the subject and the learners’ needs. Learning extends beyond sitting at a desk. Our classrooms and wider environment provide opportunities for active, creative, and collaborative learning that ensures every child flourishes.
