Pre Prep: Nursery to Year 2

In Pre-Prep, learning is rooted in curiosity, play, and self-directed enquiry. The curriculum responds to children’s questions and ideas, encouraging them to explore, investigate, and express themselves confidently within a dialogue-rich environment.

Pupils grow in independence while feeling safe and supported, guided by a central class teacher and enriched by visiting specialists who bring subjects such as Art, Dance, and PE vividly to life. At this age, children begin to develop the Dolphin Habits through certificates for Kind Kangaroos, Persevering Penguins, and Helpful Hippos, helping them reflect on their strengths, build confidence, and cultivate positive learning behaviours.

Through hands-on experiences, collaboration, and guided exploration, children develop a love of learning alongside the foundations of resilience, creativity, and self-motivation.
