St Helen’s School Prospectus
2021 | 22
Brave thinkers. True colours.
Prep School Education of your children is such a joy and every moment of every day should be filled with the same energy and instinctive curiosity that young children have. St Helen’s Prep School leads children on an adventure whether that be finding a crashed spaceship in the grounds, exploring the trim trail, coding robots or discovering which things float or sink and why. Nursery and Reception (Early Years Foundation Stage) are very child led and as much time is spent outside as inside the classroom. Whilst the early years and those in Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) emphasise child-initiated learning, high standards of literacy and numeracy are achieved, enabling pupils to progress confidently to more structured activities at Key Stage 2. Key Stage 2 consists of Years 3 to 6 (for pupils between the ages of seven and eleven) and features a wide range of specialist facilities housed in the state-of-the-art Woolfson building. These include a Science laboratory, DT workshop and Art and Drama studios.
Girls spend their days buzzing around enjoying their increased ability to learn independently and collaboratively. Children don’t stop asking questions but now they ask them in a more structured way and are encouraged to find ways of answering them themselves. Much of the education is still outside in our amazing grounds - from graffiti workshops and outside Science to writing cloud poetry and long jump.
