SCHOOL OVERVIEW

The school is divided into three main areas: Foundation Stage (Nursery & Reception), Pre-Prep (Forms 1 - 2), and the Prep Department (Forms 3 - 6). All classes have their own form teacher, with whom the younger children spend most of their day. The Foundation Stage and Pre-Prep classes also have qualified Nursery Nurses to assist.

FOUNDATION STAGE (NURSERY & RECEPTION) - Age 3 to 5 years

In the Foundation Stage the six early learning goals form the basis of the curriculum and the children benefit from specialist teachers in French, Music and PE. Although the Nursery retains a clear identity of its own, the children are very much a part of the whole school and share in a whole school assembly once a week.
