Information:
Prep

Children move to the Main School forms from the age of 7. Their curriculum in the Main School is dependent on their age and form. Children are normally moved up according to their age so that nobody is 'left behind'. Potential scholarship candidates are accelerated through the system so that they spend their final two years in Upper 1.

The complete range of National Curriculum subjects is studied from the age of 8. Forms are unstreamed. Children are taught by their class teacher for most subjects except for Art, Computers, Music, PE, Swimming, Craft, Design & Technology and French

Year 3 & 4 (Shells and Lowers) - 8:20am - 4:30pm Monday - Friday and
8:20am - 12:50pm Saturday. 30 minutes prep is set for children in Years 3 & 4
