Daily Online Lessons

Lessons are taught in the mornings to ensure that children are alert and ready to learn. This timing also allows parents to work if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A prep school, short for preparatory school, is an independent, fee-paying school that prepares children for secondary education, typically from ages 7 to 11.

A Pre-Prep caters for ages 5 and 6 and is a precursor to the our Prep School. It teaches the Key Stage 1 curriculum.

Our prep school caters to children aged 5 to 11, corresponding to Key Stages 1 and 2 in the UK education system.

The school day runs from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with optional after-school activities available until 5:30 PM. All times are UK timezones.

A computer or laptop (we do not recommend using a tablet as they tend to be harder to navigate for younger pupils and more frequently unstable.) You will need a fast and reliable broadband connection. We also recommend the use of a printer at home. The children will need paper, pencils and pens as well as basic art materials (scissors, glue, colouring pencils/felt tips, ruler.)

We expect an adult to be on hand and nearby at all times when lessons are on. For Pre-Prep and Prep 3 pupils, we expect a parent/adult to sit with their child during all lessons to support, advise and help with any tech issues. As the children get older and more confident, the parent can encourage more independent learning, whilst still being on hand if there are difficulties. Some pupils will be ready for this earlier than others.

We follow the National Curriculum for England, supplemented with additional subjects and enrichment activities to provide a broad and balanced education.

Our curriculum includes English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Art and PSHE.

Progress is assessed through regular classwork, homework, tests, and formal assessments at the end of every term. Parents receive termly reports and can attend parent-teacher meetings.

We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, including drama, art, languages and various clubs such as chess, debating, and robotics.

Our class teachers look after the pastoral care of the pupils in their class. We strongly believe that a happy child will learn best so we work closely with families and children to address any issues to ensure are content.

We have a strict anti-bullying policy and a comprehensive support system to address and prevent bullying, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all students.

We communicate with parents through regular newsletters, emails, and our parent portal. Additionally we can message directly on Teams.

You can contact us via Teams or email. Our contact details are available on the ‘Contact Us’ page of our website. Our teachers are always willing to answer queries or support children’s learning outside the classroom.
