Pre-Prep
EYFS
KEY STAGE 1
PASTORAL CARE
Our Pre-Prep creates a happy environment in which to nurture your child.
A balance is struck between extracurricular activities and more structured work, with a strong focus on building the firm foundations of Literacy and Numeracy.
A Nurturing Start
Every new pupil that enrols with us at Nursery is invited in to have one or sometimes two taster days to welcome them to Orwell Park, make them feel safe with their teachers and settle them into this exciting new environment.
This is an important step to ensure your child feels safe and secure on a good footing moving forward with their school life. On top of the taster day, we also offer staggered time commitments, which means that your child can start by doing hour sessions, half days or go straight into full days if they settle very quickly.
Preparation for Prep
As your child grows through the Pre-Prep we encourage them to become curious thinkers, to ask questions and become independent learners so that they can thrive in the Prep School. The Pre-Prep sets the following goals for every child:
to develop a passion for learning
to be committed to achieving high standards
to foster an inquisitive mind
to encourage independence and individuality
to nurture a sense of citizenship
Pastoral Care
“The arrangements for welfare, health and safety are excellent.”
Independent Schools Inspectorate
At Orwell Park, pastoral care is given top priority, ensuring that every child is listened to, cared for, valued and encouraged. All members of staff at Orwell Park, whether academic or support staff, have a part to play in providing for the needs of their young charges. In Pre-Prep, class teachers take special responsibility for the welfare as well as academic progress of the pupils in their care.
