Preparatory School · Grade 1 to Grade 6

Strong starts, confident futures.

Strong foundations first, then growing independence, confidence and character, so every child is ready for High School and beyond.

Two stages, one journey

From mastery to ownership.

Junior Preparatory

Strong foundations in reading, writing and Maths, taught with structure and care. We draw on the best of Montessori thinking too, such as self-paced work and hands-on materials, so every child builds true mastery before moving on, and is seen and nurtured as an individual.

Senior Preparatory

Children take greater ownership of their learning and grow in independence, with rich subjects, real responsibility and leadership moments that help them see themselves as capable and trusted.

Skills for life

Rich, connected, hands‑on learning.

Hands-on, engaging classrooms grow the critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and adaptability children need for a changing world.

We recognise that each child is "fearfully and wonderfully made", and we bring Christian values into everyday moments, helping children grow a sense of identity and purpose.
