Years 1 & 2

Years 1 and 2

In Years 1 and 2 we build on the enjoyment and enthusiasm for learning fostered in the Early Years. Our curriculum takes the best elements of traditional teaching, placing an emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy, strongly supported by a wide range of subjects and activities designed to widen horizons and develop the children’s imagination. All children benefit from specialist teachers for French, music and Physical education ensuring that high standards are achieved in all curriculum areas.

The curriculum is explained to parents at the beginning of each term and we encourage a working partnership with our parents, recognising that learning goes beyond the classroom. Daily contact with parents is achieved using a home/school communication book and through contact with the staff at the beginning and end of the day. More formal opportunities to discuss a child’s progress and attainment are available through Parents’ Evenings and written reports.

By the end of the Pre-Prep years your child will have received a thorough academic grounding and will be ready to build on this foundation in the Prep School.

At Milbourne Lodge Pre-Prep we believe that the quality of education in a child's early years is the key to their future academic progress.
