Pre-Prep

School Life

The Pre-Prep School is purpose built and benefits from small classes, exceptional facilities and outstanding dedicated staff. The overall environment is positive and supportive, encouraging each child to reach their full potential, and enjoy these important years of school, as the foundations for learning are set.

Children arrive at school from 8.30am onwards and the school day begins with registration at 8.45am. For the children in Years One and Two the school day ends at 3.45pm, whilst the children in Reception can be collected from 3.30pm onwards.

During the day the children are provided with a healthy morning and afternoon snack as well as a well-balanced, nutritious lunch, which is cooked on the premises. Copies of our menu can be downloaded here (pdf).

For those parents who need an extended day our Pre-School Club operates between 7.50am and 8.30am and there is no additional charge for this facility.

Our After-School Club, Plus Two, is available until 6pm. Click here for more information.

Assemblies are an important and special part of the day. Held each morning after registration, the whole school comes together in the School Hall. They are broadly Christian in nature and develop a sense of ‘togetherness’; they are a key area in promoting self esteem, morality and spirituality. Each Wednesday a different class leads the assembly, offering the children an opportunity to speak in front of their peer group, and enabling the whole school to have an understanding and appreciation of activities outside their own class. The School Chaplain, Dr David Barker leads an assembly each week, which provides an important link with the rest of the College.

All children are required to wear full school uniform, which is available from Rawcliffes, the schools outfitters in Harrogate. Click here for a full uniform list (pdf).
