Rockport Preparatory School is an independent Preparatory School for Boys and Girls aged between 3 and 13 years. Pupils are prepared for schools in the Province and for senior independent schools in Scotland and England.
Children work hard, enjoy the excellent facilities and beautiful site and traditions of the school. Each child is valued and contributes to the life of a busy, happy boarding and day school.
The school has been thriving for many years and so the numbers have increased and the opportunities multiplied. However, the essential family atmosphere and small classes help the staff to know the boys and girls and bring out their potential.
Happiness is at the heart of Rockport, followed by high academic standards and good manners. In short the ethos of the School is to develop the 'whole person' so that each child can enjoy sport, music, drama, art, craft and dance, and be prepared not only for senior school but for life.
Rockport is particularly suitable for working parents as Day Care is available from the age of entry - 3 years old - until children enter Key Stage 2 when the school day ends at 5.30pm. Many children take up the opportunity to stay for evening clubs or to sleep over when it suits busy parents.
Pastoral care is very important at Rockport and its success is due to the close communication between staff, children and parents.
