Pre-Prep (Ages 3-6)

The moment a child joins the Pre-Prep family they embark upon an adventure in which they will lay the foundations for all future learning. Our Pre-School and Reception has been specially designed to make learning experiences irresistible and memorable. We encourage learning to continue beyond the classroom walls, with excellent opportunities to use outside learning areas as well as an extensive, internal, shared learning space.

 

Favourable small class sizes enable our experienced teachers to get to know their children incredibly well. We know what inspires and ignites interest in each child and as a result can cater their experiences to their individual needs and styles. We are fortunate to have very favourable staffing ratios, with each year group being supported by a full-time teaching assistant so all children can receive the support they need to fly on ahead or take their time. There are no boundaries for growth at King’s, we employ specialist teachers from Pre-Prep all the way to Year 7 to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed at their own pace.

Our curriculum provides children with fresh opportunities and new challenges, helping them to make the most of their talents and providing scope for them to develop new and exciting interests.

Children are born ready, able and eager to learn. They actively reach out to interact with other people, and in the world around them. We teach this age group mostly through stimulating games and play.

● positive attitudes and dispositions towards learning
