Pre-Prep School Curriculum

Learning in our pre-prep follows an ambitious curriculum, carefully planned and implemented to promote excellence and help prepare learners for the subsequent academic stages. The curriculum is broad and balanced, embodying our Language of Learning approach, which is based on the six key traits of challenge, perseverance, confidence, responsibility, positivity and communication. Progress is monitored through regular assessments, with standardised testing held once every year.

Highly Qualified Pre-Prep Teachers

Our dedicated team of pre-prep teachers foster a vibrant environment where excellence is nurtured and recognised. Their outstanding credentials, coupled with a genuine passion, elevate lessons and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Certain subjects, such as music and Computing, have specialist teachers who provide further support and depth to the curriculum. For example, in PE lessons, our pupils begin to learn netball and rugby skills, which they demonstrate at our annual Pre-Prep Sports Day, in part to prepare for more serious matches and competitions in prep school.

Purpose-Built Pre-Prep Facilities

Our Tonbridge pre-prep boasts excellent learning facilities. Modern classrooms with cutting-edge tools and resources offer a premium environment to support practical learning and allow learners to extend their skills in all subjects.
