Junior School Prospectus
Teaching and Learning
A commitment to teaching and effective learning lies at the heart of all that we do. We teach our boys the skills that will stand them in good stead when they move to the Lower School in Year 7. As well as acquiring knowledge, we want them to learn how to engage in critical thinking, to be able to organise themselves, be confident and articulate, to take responsibility for their own learning and to be aspirational. 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. Boys are taught Mathematics, English, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Science, French, Art, Design Technology, Music, Computing, Dance, Philosophy, Wellbeing and Citizenship. The Curriculum
