Prep School (Years 3-6)
The Alleyn Court Advantage: A Head Start for Senior School
Welcome to the Prep School, where we empower our pupils to become confident, resilient, and independent learners. Transitioning from Nursery into our Pre-Prep at Reception, from Year 3 to Year 6, we provide an education that is academically ambitious, uniquely personal, and designed to secure your child’s successful future.
Unlike larger, more generic schools, our approach is centred entirely on the individual child. We don't just prepare them for exams; we prepare them for life.
Bespoke Preparation, Unrivalled Results
We are widely recognised for our outstanding 11+ results, which consistently place us ahead of our main competitors. We believe this is down to our unique and personal approach to preparation. We understand that this can be a stressful time, so our dedicated and discreet approach focuses on equipping every pupil with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in their chosen senior school, whether that be a top grammar school or a leading independent school.
Targeted and Personalised Teaching
Small class sizes allow us to provide bespoke one-on-one support, identifying and nurturing each child’s unique strengths and talents, rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Scholarship Preparation
We have a proven track record of helping our pupils secure scholarships in a variety of areas.
Interview & Assessment Practice
We provide bespoke guidance on interview techniques and assessment practice to ensure our pupils are fully prepared.
Pastoral Support
We understand that this can be a stressful time, so our dedicated pastoral team provides a strong network of support to ensure every child feels happy and confident.
A Curriculum Beyond the Exam
Our Prep School curriculum goes far beyond the standard Key Stage 2 requirements. From the moment they arrive, pupils are taught by specialist teachers in every subject, ensuring they receive the highest standard of tuition and are truly engaged in their learning. This mirrors the senior school environment, giving our pupils a seamless transition and a head start for the future.
Science
Taught in our fully equipped science lab, lessons are practical and hands-on, sparking a real curiosity for the world.
modern foreign languages
Pupils benefit from specialist language teaching, building a strong foundation for future language studies.
Computing & ICT
Using the latest technology, our pupils develop skills in coding, digital literacy, and e-safety in our modern computing suite.
Creative Arts
Our well-established Art, Music, and Drama departments ensure every child has the opportunity to explore their creative talents and perform.
PE & Games
Our award-winning sports program focuses on both team participation and individual excellence, using our superb on-site facilities.
Curriculum for All
At Alleyn Court, we believe that an excellent education is for everyone. Our dedicated approach ensures that the curriculum is accessible and inspiring for all pupils, regardless of their learning style or starting point. We celebrate every achievement and provide support where needed, ensuring that no one is left behind. Our curriculum is enriched to provide opportunities for pupils to develop not only their core academic skills but also a love for learning in all areas.
Outdoor Learning
Every pupil has the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom. Our fantastic grounds, including our accredited Forest School and a large private pond, provide a living classroom where children can explore, discover, and develop practical skills in a natural environment.
Pastoral Care
Our robust pastoral support system is a part of our curriculum, teaching pupils about emotional intelligence, resilience, and compassion.
Leadership for All
We ensure every pupil has the chance to take on a leadership role, whether as a Head of House or a Digital Leader.
Extracurricular Activities
Our wide range of clubs provides opportunities for every child to explore new interests, find their passion, and develop skills beyond the core curriculum.
Leadership for All
In their final years at Alleyn Court, pupils are encouraged to take on positions of responsibility, developing their leadership and character. Unlike many larger schools where only a select few are given these opportunities, we ensure that every pupil has the chance to take on a leadership role, whether as a Head of House or a Digital Leader.
