The Working Day



We are aware that parents seek for their children an educational environment in which academic matters are set as a clear priority. With this in mind, we have planned our academic programme in the light of the National Curriculum and our view of what constitutes sound educational value.


It is also clear that parents are keen to see a strong academic provision being supported by a wide choice of cultural and athletic pursuits. Accordingly, we offer a rich choice of clubs and activities. All year groups have the chance to take part in inter-school matches in most sports.

The programme outlined below enables us to make the fullest use of our academic and recreational facilities and to offer extra-curricular opportunities to pupils at all levels in the Preparatory School.
