We provide a wide-ranging education within and outside the classroom, and prepare boys thoroughly for the entrance requirements of their senior schools.
Our boys leave with an enthusiasm for participation, an appetite for learning and achievement and a confidence without arrogance that are all hallmarks of a good preparatory schooling, and provide the best possible foundation for the future.
Regular assessment, recording and reporting help to ensure that individual progress is closely monitored. Standardised testing in Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Numeracy, Reading and Spelling takes place annually in most year groups. Together with annual academic examinations and day-to-day assessments, these provide useful performance indicators to determine a possible future school path.
Parents’ Evenings take place twice a year and teachers are always available by appointment outside these “formal” occasions. Effort grades are provided twice a year while a full written report is provided at the end of each academic year.
