Academic Departments
Pre-Prep
Depending on your child’s age we will teach them in different ways. In our Pre-Preparatory Department our experienced teachers combine a careful blend of numeracy and literacy with a wide range of other subjects as well as many extra-curricular activities.
Junior Department
Pupils aged 7-9 work in the Junior Department and study in small classes headed by a Group Tutor who takes most of the lessons. We believe it is essential that all pupils acquire a good grasp of English and Mathematics but we also teach Science, Design and Technology, Information and Communication Technology, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Art, Music, Drama and Physical Education.
Individual departments
During the last three years before senior school, your child will be taught by specialist subject teachers. The programme will continue to be overseen by their Group Tutor who will also keep a close and friendly eye on how your child is developing outside the classroom – in sport, music and other activities. You are always welcome to contact your child’s tutor for an informal chat to discuss progress.English and Mathematics are still central to the curriculum. Pupils also study Physics, Chemistry and Biology (as separate sciences), History, Geography, Religious Studies, Design and Technology, Food Technology, Information and Communication Technology, Art, Music, Drama and Physical Education. They may also study French, Spanish and Latin.
