Werneth Prep is a small friendly school which has been established for over a century. Registration is accepted from birth and admission to Nursery is from 2.5 years for half days and 3 years for a full day. From 4 years it is normally each September but if a vacancy occurs a child may be accepted following an assessment of core subjects.
Each child receives a sound education in all subjects applicable to preparatory education in caring and stimulating environment. Each child's needs receive individual attention and progress is assessed at every level.
Parents are consulted and informed at all times with regards to the vital role they play in their child's school life.
Education must be carried into the home as an essential link between home and school so homework is given with consideration, of time and level given, of the of the child.
As we accept a wide ability range our teacher pupil ratio of 1/12 allows us to match teaching to intellect in all subjects with consistently excellent results (see school prospectus).
Specialist teaching is given should a child show any difficulty with early reading skills via the ARROW programme.
In Year 6 all pupils are prepared for the Independent school of their parents' choice and our pass success to the Independent Grammar Schools is recorded in our prospectus.
There are two written reports at the Christmas and June examinations followed by an Open Day for parent/teacher discussion. There is an annual parent/teacher meeting for Years 1 - 6 in May.
Uniform, discipline, lateness/absence, medical arrangements, health and safety are all covered in particular school policies.
In keeping with our philosophy of caring for others we undertake several charity events each year.
The sports day, swimming gala and prize giving are held annually and parents, family and friends are invited to attend. Further enquiries are very welcome.
