Academic

At Claremont Prep School, our curriculum focuses both on academic knowledge and developing essential life skills. Our dedicated teaching staff tailor learning to each student’s needs and interests, ensuring they are motivated, inspired and challenged.

Our learning programmes are focused around the ‘Five Pillars’. These inform all aspects of the curriculum, both inside and outside the classroom:

  1. Academic Achievement; an ambitious and innovative offering that develops literacy, numeracy, scientific and cultural literacy and creative expression.
  2. Life Skills: personal, social and emotional development, promotion of physical wellbeing through sports, soft skills
  3. EAL & Multilingualism: Communication through language; embracing bilingualism and multilingualism, promotion of second language acquisition
  4. Future Pathways: Focus on the development of skills and qualifications that open up opportunities and choices for the next stage of education.
  5. International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS): part of a global community of schools; development of a world awareness through virtual and in person experiences and collaboration.

Confident children make more curious learners who are prepared to challenge themselves.

A holistic approach

Extending beyond the National Curriculum, we include a range of subjects like languages, history, art, music, and more. With experienced staff guiding them, Claremont Prep students become fully equipped to excel in their future exams and navigate challenges with confidence. There is an increasing emphasis on new technologies as a vehicle for enhancing learning and all of our Y6-8 students use school wide devices as part of their day to day learning experience.

Confident children make more curious learners who are prepared to challenge themselves. So we place a lot of importance on developing a supportive environment where the children develop resilience and self-esteem. When students leave us for the Senior School, they are prepared for the next chapter in their educational journey with lasting friendships, cherished memories, and a strong skill set that sets them up for success. Many of our students go on to achieve scholarships and awards thanks to the foundation they receive here.
