Our Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep School are located across three specialist sites, all within a few minutes’ walk of one another.
Purpose-built settings for every age
Our very youngest Nursery children (aged 2-3 years) attend Ducklings, a home from home setting with a beautiful green garden for outdoor play.
Nursery children aged 3-4 years attend Cygnets at our Lower School site on Long Lane alongside Reception and Year 1 children. This is a beautiful purpose-built facility set back from the road with light and modern classrooms. The green outdoor play areas include specialist play equipment, a nature area and vegetable garden.
The older children, in Years 2 to 6 (aged 7 – 11), attend the Upper School Prep building in Parkway. Facilities here include a specialist high tech science lab, a well-stocked art studio, beautiful Zen Garden, a nature area and further green grounds.
