Prep
The Prep Department is made up of Forms III to VI inclusive.The curriculum takes account of the National Curriculum along with the content and requirements of the ISEB (Independent Schools Examining Board - Common Entrance), and 11+ examinations.
We want our girls to be happy, engaged and ambitious, confident and considerate. We want the very best for them, and from them! Days are full and varied.
During their time in the Prep, the girls will experience many different physical activities including netball, athletics, gymnastics, fitness training, rounders, swimming, team games and fencing. Music, dance and drama flourish, with learning and performance opportunities for all. By the end of FVI the girls leave us for leading day and boarding schools well prepared and eager to face the challenges of life ahead.
Breakdown of Prep Curriculum
Lessons are organised into a 40-period week. Set out below are the lesson allocations per week for the various subjects. There can be some variation, especially with Forms V and VI, in periods leading up to (and after) entrance examinations.
