Preparatory

"The quality of teaching and learning is outstanding. Inspirational teaching helps children make excellent progress towards the Early Learning Goals in all areas of learning." - Ofsted Report 2008 (Foundation Stage)

Stover Preparatory School offers a broad, balanced and forward looking curriculum for our pupils and provides a firm foundation for entry to the Senior School. Set in the Clock House, the Preparatory School has a warm and open atmosphere where pupils can enjoy learning in a supportive and busy environment. Our classrooms are well equipped and our staff are dedicated to helping our pupils ‘plant the seeds for success' in their education.

The Pre-Preparatory School is co-educational and from Year 3 pupils are split into classes according to gender. The classes follow the same curriculum with teachers working together to co-ordinate the children's learning. Whilst pupils are taught most lessons separately there are ample opportunities for interaction between girls and boys. In addition, pupils mix together for extra-curricular activities, performances, break times, swimming and school trips.

At Stover Preparatory School our aim is to build a quiet self confidence in our pupils. By nurturing each individual's academic, social and emotional development we prepare them for the next phase of their education and beyond.
