Chemistry Olympiad success
Earlier this term, Sixth Form Chemistry students undertook the 2022 Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad. This is a gruelling two-hour examination, which gives students a thorough cerebral workout and tests their chemical knowledge and understanding well beyond the confines of the A-level syllabus. This year we achieved two Silver Awards and a Bronze Award, by Lower Sixth students Sahit S, Josh H and Varun V. This is an exceptional achievement by these students, given that the Olympiad exam is usually sat by Upper Sixth students only, and even then to achieve Bronze and Silver Awards is a rarity. Congratulations to these three students!
We provide a wide range of sporting activities and opportunities for all pupils.
At our Prep School we concur with educational theorists who emphasise the importance of the creative mind and ‘emotional intelligence’ and ‘wellbeing’ – the need to develop the whole personality and our pupil’s imaginations especially. Drama has the power to liberate the mind.
We encourage our pupils to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. 
At our Prep School, Computing covers the use of electronic technology in all its forms, including computers and other communication devices.

Art is an integral part of our Prep School’s curriculum, providing our pupils with a unique means of expressing their ideas by allowing them to explore new thoughts and give life to their creative minds.
History is taught throughout the School and pupils are encouraged to find out about events and peoples.
Planet Earth is our only home. It is an mind-blowing, diverse and constantly changing place of awesome beauty and power. 
French is the language of our nearest neighbours, probably the easiest foreign language for English speakers to learn and, after English, one of the most widely-learned languages worldwide.
The core of every science lesson at our Prep School is about developing every pupil’s curiosity in the world around them. 
Mathematics is a key subject for children of all ages at our Prep School.
English is taught using lively and creative methods through a variety of texts and resources incorporating ICT from Pre-Prep onwards.
