Opal Coast Visit
During the first week of the Easter break, pupils visited the Opal Coast on a French cultural trip. On their arrival in France, pupils enjoyed a language tuition lesson at the Université d’été Littoral-Nord de France in Boulogne-sur-Mer. On Saturday they absorbed the culture through a visit to a local bakery, where they learnt how to make a French loaf, and a chocolate factory, where they learnt about the chocolate making process and tasted some delicious handmade chocolates. They then completed a town-trail activity in St Omer. On Sunday they spent time at the Nausicaá Centre National de la Mer, the largest aquarium in Europe, followed by visit to the old town in Boulogne-sur-Mer. They rounded off the day by enjoying some downtime at the beach. Evening activities at the Chateau they stayed in included cheese tasting and making crepes. Un voyage inoubliable!
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.
• What is religion?
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.
