EDUCATION
ST EDMUND’S PRE-PREP SCHOOL…
WHERE LEARNING BEGINS
DID YOU KNOW THAT CHILDREN CAN JOIN ST EDMUND’S SCHOOL, ONE OF CANTERBURY'S
LEADING INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS, FROM THE AGE OF THREE? THE LADYBIRDS NURSERY
CLASS OFFERS A FRIENDLY AND CARING ENVIRONMENT THAT IS DEDICATED TO GIVING
ITS PUPILS THE VERY BEST START TO THEIR EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY.
Through play and focused activities children
enjoy a broad curriculum with specialist
teaching in PE, music and forest school –
comprising all the creative and learning
opportunities you would want for your child.
The Nursery class is set out over two adjoining
rooms with an extensive outside area and
garden; perfect for outdoor learning. The
Nursery and Pre-Prep benefit from being
located on the same site as the Junior and
Senior school and so share the wonderful
grounds and excellent facilities of this historic
school. By working closely together the school
provides a seamless transition to Reception
class for pupils in the September before their
fifth birthday.
The Nursery class day timings are flexible
(morning/afternoon/all-day sessions) to meet
the needs of the children and wraparound
care is available before and after school.
Parents should also know that fees are
calculated per session and government
funding for Free Early Education can be
claimed for morning sessions.
“St Ed’s Pre-Prep has been a wonderful
first school experience – vibrant classes,
inspiring teaching and an ethos of caring and
friendship,” commented a St Edmund’s parent.
To discover more about St Edmund’s
Nursery & Pre-Prep, why not attend an open
morning or arrange a personal visit?
For families interested in admission
beyond the Pre-Prep, entry points at 7+, 11+,
13+ and 16+ are the norm, but entry into other
year groups is possible when places become
available.
