Little School Curriculum

Sunday Times Schools Guide 2025 - Independent Secondary School of the Year North West

Little School (Reception to Year 2)

Activities and learning opportunities for children in this age group are planned and tailored to match the developmental stage of each child.

Pupils benefit from a diverse and comprehensive curriculum that includes Modern Foreign Languages, Sports, Art, and instrumental Music lessons. These subjects offer a strong foundation for learning, enriching their educational experience and preparing them thoroughly for the next stage of their journey in Junior Prep.

Over the three years from Reception to Year 2, children are mostly taught by their Form Teacher who is also responsible for their pastoral care. Form Tutors nurture the children in their classes to ensure they become independent and enthusiastic learners, as well as well-rounded kind and caring individuals.
