Pre-Prep & Pre-School

PLEASE COME ALONG TO OUR OPEN MORNING ON WEDNESDAY 14 NOVEMBER, 9.30 - 11.30 AND SEE OUR SCHOOL IN ACTION. WE WOULD LOVE TO WELCOME YOU TO OUR SCHOOL.

The Pre-Prep years are vital in a pupil’s development and at Read School we foster a child’s natural curiosity and a love of learning through rich, fun and varied activities.

The Pre-Prep and Pre-School moved location over the summer of 2011 and is now situated on the main school site, having taken over the Shipley building, which has been adapted specifically for them. With three large, light and airy classrooms, a safe outdoor play area and more modern facilities, this is a fantastic place for the Pre-Prep and Pre-School children to begin their school careers, providing a safe, happy and stimulating environment.

Pre-School

All Pre-School children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum

Pre-Prep

Government frameworks for learning provide a guideline but teaching is not dictated by these or used in isolation
Basic skills in number, writing, spelling and reading form the core of morning work
In the Pre-Prep, afternoon topic work consists of history, geography, science and religious studies; these subjects reinforce the basic skills
Children are introduced to language learning from entry in to the school, with French being taught at a basic level
Small intimate learning groups promote self esteem and enquiring minds within a vibrant, exciting learning environment based on the ideal of an extended family community

Why choose Read School Pre-Prep and Pre-School?

We foster a strong sense of family community and spirit where the priority is to nurture the individual child to fulfil their full potential. Small learning groups and the independent school ethos help to promote self-esteem and expression and develop the enquiring mind. Individuals are encouraged to succeed and we share and celebrate these achievements but we also encourage a sense of teamwork.

We offer a wide-ranging and diverse activities programme in addition to those experienced and taught in the classroom so children become well-rounded individuals.
