Foundation Stage (EYFS) |
The Foundation Stage (Prep) is taught to 3-5 year olds (boys and girls) according to the QCA
guidelines. These are organised into six main areas of learning:
- Personal, social and emotional development,
- Communication, language and literacy,
- Mathematical development
- Knowledge and understanding of the world,
- Physical development and
- Creative development.
Significant emphasis is placed on educational success, with a
ratio of one member of staff to 8 pupils. In addition Music, Ballet, Speech & Drama and Swimming are
timetabled on a weekly basis and are taught by specialist teachers.
The curriculum offers a sound foundation for the smooth transition to Year 1.
The School is a member of the Nursery Grant Scheme. This
grant is claimed by the school on behalf of parents of eligible children,
and is credited a term in arrears. Details are available from the Bursar.
Offer of a place to Prep is dependant on an interview between the
parents and the Headmaster. Your daughter will then be invited to spend a school
day or a morning with the Prep class.
Physical, social and intellectual maturity of applicants are also important
factors when applying for a place.
