Pre-Prep Schools

"School is great because it has big trees that I can climb in." - Reception pupil, St Faith's

Pre-prep school is the first time most children will experience education proper, as opposed to the daycare provided by nurseries. Children will have to learn the basics of mathematics, science and English, and a host of other subjects. Outside the classroom, many of the children will be having their first proper experience with team sports, music and/or choral tuition, and the arts.
