Day preparatory school (mixed) situated in beautiful grounds on the outskirts of the town. We aim to prepare children in the fullest sense for the secondary stage of education. Academically we expect to fulfil the potential of each child - scholarships, Common Entrance or entry to grammar schools. Science and Computing have been developed from the five year olds upwards, and fully equipped Science and Computer Laboratories are available. A Craft, Art, Design and Technology Centre has just been opened with an experienced and qualified specialist teacher. Language teaching is strong, as is the Mathematics. The happiness and well being of the child is our prime aim within a secure environment.
Buildings are modern with up-to-date facilities. Seventeen acres of playing fields, all-weather surface, outdoor heated Swimming Pool, Gymnasium/Hall, Woodwork Centre, specialist art and music rooms. These enable the children to enjoy a wide range of activities under qualified instruction. There are two choirs and an orchestra, with about 60 children learning a wide variety of instruments.
A full and varied programme of sports and games is co-ordinated by a Loughborough trained specialist.
A strong feature of the School is the spacious, newly built Pre-Preparatory building which includes the Kindergarten and the Nursery for those aged 2+.
Lively Cubs and Brownies preserve the Baden-Powell connection.
After school has finished, the children can remain, under supervision, until 6.30 pm.
A five year development programme is continuing with the provision of a multi-purpose Sports Hall. The new Sixth Form Centre and IT Department are nearing completion.
