Curriculum
New Hall Preparatory School offers a rich and varied curriculum which meets both the National Curriculum and Independent Schools Curriculum requirements. We pride ourselves on teaching consistently outstanding lessons, which aim for academic excellence at all times.
Small class sizes of around 20, differentiated lessons and setting in Years 5 and 6 in English and Mathematics ensure that pupils are appropriately challenged and make exceptional progress. This is evidenced by our high Foundation Stage results and SATs results, which are consistently above government expectations for the given age ranges.
We believe that children excel academically when they are inspired to learn. The curriculum is delivered through a range of exciting and engaging topics and built upon a progressive ladder of skills.
An Entrance Examination Programme is built into the curriculum in Key Stage 2, which introduces pupils to verbal reasoning skills and prepares them for future entrance examinations and scholarships.
The curriculum is greatly enhanced by specialist subject teachers in Languages (French and Latin), ICT, Drama, Music and PE; there are also dance lessons as part of our Pre-Reception curriculum. The children excel because of the teachers’ expert knowledge and passion for their subject. It is rare to find this quality and range of specialist teaching on offer for children in the primary age range.
