5 – 7 year olds Key Stage 1
“My daughter loves the Prep School. Her self- confidence has improved enormously and she is enjoying the vast array of opportunities available to her.” Current parent
Key Stage 1 includes girls from ages 5 – 7 and two year groups, Year 1 and Year 2. At this stage in your daughter’s education, we gradually expand our curriculum to include more formal aspects of school life. The focus progresses gradually from learning through play to more structured learning with girls still encouraged to explore and discover more about themselves and their surroundings. Weekly swimming at the Senior School across the road starts in Year 1.
During these years, girls will have an hour of English and Maths every day, with additional subjects in Science, Art and Design Technology, Religious Studies, History, Geography, ICT, PE and PSHE. This is the time when we introduce small amounts of homework, helping girls to build up their study skills, and colourful stickers help girls to chart their progress.
