Key Stage 1
In this section
Academic
At King Henry VIII Pre-Prep, the academic curriculum is broad, balanced and engaging. The children are appropriately challenged and supported as necessary and the teaching approach is a combination of whole class teaching, group work and individual support and challenge. English and Mathematics primarily take place in the morning, with other subjects such as Science, Computing, Geography, History and RE taking place in the afternoons.
Creative
Creativity is a very important part of the curriculum and children enjoy lessons in Art, Computing, Design Technology and Drama. A specialist Music teacher delivers lessons weekly to all of our classes and children are encouraged to explore rhythm and song as well as play a variety of instruments.
Physical Education
Developing a love for sport and other physical activities is a key part of our approach at King Henry VIII Pre-Prep. Children are encouraged to practise a variety of skills alongside team work and co-operation. We offer skills lessons, fitness sessions and team games, taught by sports staff and class teachers, and have a swimming pool onsite.
Forest School
Forest School sessions are always a favourite with the children who are able to practise skills such as woodland craft, den building, supervised use of tools and cooking over a fire. Sessions provide for both planned and child-initiated activities under the supervision of a qualified Forest School Leader.
