Prep Curriculum

Prep school pupils follow a curriculum which evolves as they move through the school to offer a developing range of academic options:

  • 8s and 9s pupils (Years 4 to 5) study a set curriculum which includes Humanities (combining History, Geography and Religious Studies) and Science.
  • 9s (Year 5) pupils are introduced to Latin.
  • 10s (Year 6) continue to study Humanities, now as separate timetabled subjects, and Science.
  • 11s (Year 7) follow our curriculum for English, Maths, Science, Computing, Sport, Art, Drama and Music. At this stage, they also start studying History, Geography and Religious Studies as separate subjects.
  • ​​​​​​​11s can choose 2 Languages from the four on offer: French, Spanish, Italian and Latin.
