Curriculum
Our children thrive in a nurturing, secure and stimulating environment. Small classes enable child-centred, engaging learning experiences.
A structured, daily programme involves teachers and children exploring the fundamentals of the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile and the National Curriculum.
Experienced, supportive teachers facilitate the vital connection between learning and play. Perceptual, practical, auditory, and fine and gross motor skills are non- negotiable learning and play activities – both in the classroom and on the playground.
Enjoyable, hands- on learning experiences inculcate a confident, enthusiastic, life-long love for learning.
The Charterhouse Pre-Primary child explores, experiences, plays, and masters the solid foundations for entry to ‘big school’.
