Junior School Prospectus
The Curriculum
In Years 3 and 4, boys receive most of their teaching from their Form Tutors. They are also taught by specialist staff for French, Art, Design Technology, Music and Games. While Form Tutors play an essential role in the boys’ holistic education, from Year 5 pupils are increasingly taught by subject specialist staff. We believe that teaching Junior School pupils is a specialist area itself and children are best taught by those who understand the specific needs of this age group. All boys are taught Mathematics, English, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Science, French, Art, Design Technology, Music, Computing, Wellbeing, Games and PE. With a full-time Librarian and a stock of around 8,000 books, DVDs and audiobooks, the Junior School Library is open 8.30am- 5pm. The library is at the heart of the school, whether hosting lunchtime Year 3 storytelling where boys can relax as they are read a story aloud, or Year 6 Book Club for those who enjoy talking about books and making recommendations to each other. The library supports the boys’ learning by providing opportunities for research, assisting in the development of information-handling skills and promoting a reading culture throughout the school.

“Lessons are planned to encourage boys to be active participants in the learning process. We want boys to think confidently for themselves and to be excited about coming to school.”
