Welcome to Preparatory School

Head of School:

Ms Sabrina D'Cruze
Cluster Leader: Mrs Chris Gibson

The Preparatory School is driven by a commitment to provide a nurturing, stimulating and developmentally relevant Early Childhood Education programme.

We recognise that a comprehensive understanding of young children's developmental benchmarks and learning characteristics, is a critical consideration in the provision of meaningful learning experiences.

Our philosophy is based on building strong foundations that encourage the blossoming of the 'whole person', and from which our students will invariably draw upon as life-long learners.

Play, direct sensorial experience, physical engagement of innate curiosity, the valuing of serendipity, and exposure to learning in a variety of ways, becomes vital.

We have in place some very explicit monitoring and assessment tools that advocate early identification and intervention strategies, as well as, support and extension programmes.

We boast, and continually endeavour to maintain, a collaborative culture within which children, parents and teachers are considered highly valued partners in the educational process. Within this context, cooperation, democratic participation, shared expertise, and an atmosphere of care and respect, are features which are actively promoted.
