Welcome to our newly founded selective Pre-Preparatory School.
Younger children don’t need to be on the school run, in a noisy school, away from their parents for long hours to thrive. Nor do they need to be in a traditional school to have a rich, vibrant learning experience and socialise.
‘Circle of Care’ research identifies that: ‘ Every child should have the opportunity to grow to their fullest potential. In their formative years, the surrounding environment and lived experiences play a defining role in the child’s development’.
What a privilege to have this option as your child’s environment and oversee whom they socialise with in a small well rounded class. As a parent, to know first-hand each day the context of how learning and friendships develop, Furthermore, to truly, at this tender age, be a continuous, integral part of your child’s full circle of care.
Many parents wish to be present in the moments when their child gain fluency in their reading, use capital letters for the first time, figure out a number problem or simply listen to their curious responses to questions in school. Many parents want home schooling but are nervous to misstep attempting it themselves, within these delicate formative years.
Our experience has seen the youngest explorers thrive online with supportive parents. We are looking for you to invest time in your children’s learning, engaging to support alongside our teachers. Holistic education is a shared responsibility.
Our Pre-Prep teachers offer skill, subject knowledge and adaptability to hook your children with sustained interest. We are committed to your child’s progress yet guarantee fun in their interactions as they learn as individuals.
We will teach beyond the UK National Curriculum offering you the finest independent school experience right from the start! Engaging with Literacy, Maths, Science, Enquiry, Fine and Gross Motor Skills, Role Play, Music and Art in small, differentiated groups or individual personalised sessions, your child will be in school with you for 5 mornings a week. Core subjects will be chilli challenged and parents can choose the level of challenge their child engages in.
Mostly, lessons will be live, some will be pre-recorded to enable a story revisit or an experiment to be relived again and again and again as is age appropriate.
We will be using a combination of Microsoft Teams and Seesaw as platforms to present quality interactive lessons. Your child will respond mostly traditionally by way of writing in books yet in a couple lessons, online responses are encouraged through Seesaw activities.
A typical shape of the day will include:
A Morning Message, Phonics (if applicable), Maths, Small differentiated group, Literacy, Small differentiated group, Music, Science, End of Day Story.
Between lessons there will be natural wellbeing breaks to move and curiously investigate. In addition, we would almost insist that you as parents, socialise in the park, join clubs or community centres near your home of your choices to further develop your child’s social and emotional balance.
What a fabulous opportunity for children to have parents at their side and gradually gain more independence as they step up into the Preparatory School.
We are taking a unique step in a bespoke, balanced direction and would be delighted to meet your child online for an assessment to see if we are the best fit for each other.
