In Pre-Prep, we teach Humanities in a creative and cross curricular way which actively engages the pupils. Children are encouraged to use a questioning approach and practical activities to deepen their understanding and skills.
In History, the students develop an awareness of the past, understanding where the people and events they are studying fit within a chronological time frame. Pupils study the lives of significant individuals and famous events in time. They are encouraged to look at similarities and differences compared to their own experiences and family history.
In Geography, a curiosity and fascination about the world around us is encouraged through creative curriculum themed lessons. The children deepen their understanding and sense of enquiry of the world, the UK and their locality. We look at the vocabulary related to human and physical features, begin to use geographical skills to study maps and identify seasonal and daily weather patterns. There is also a focus on environmental change, sustainability and topical ecological issues.
We believe that Religious Education is important in every child’s development. Different religious, spiritual and moral themes are purposefully explored. Explorative questions encourage pupils to listen to and value different viewpoints. Greater understanding of Christianity and the major world religions are brought to life.
Learning about religion focuses on beliefs, teachings, practices and ways of life, and forms of expression.
Learning from religion develops pupils’ reflection on, and response to, experiences and learning about religion.
Core values such as faith, compassion, tolerance and respect are developed. We use interactive approaches to engage pupils and guided research is used to deepen understanding.
