Good Schools Guide

‘The curriculum is brilliantly original’Tatler Schools Guide

That’s because it’s timeless.

Boys need basics, and a great education starts with reading and writing.

• Boys in the pre-prep will learn by phonics, the 44 sounds in the English language – an approach used for generations.

• Boys will learn to blend sounds, then to form words. • Boys will learn the alphabet by memorising names of letters in order, and learn to read by

decoding sounds. • Boys will learn to read and write simultaneously, and write in lines from the start. • Boys will learn to read without external prompts and cues. • Boys will learn handwriting for clarity, speed and legibility.

And writing’s great for posture!

But we thought you’d like to see plans for our Reception classrooms.
