Pre-Preparatory School
The Villa Pre-Prep is a small and friendly school with children joining us for Reception, Year One and Year Two. We believe that school should be a positive, happy and stimulating experience where the needs of each child are respected.
We recognise that the early years at nursery and school are a crucial period of development in childhood and as a result our guiding ethos is one of support and care. At the same time we equip children with all the tools they need educationally, emotionally and socially as they prepare to leave us at the age of seven.
Children at The Villa benefit from our high teacher-pupil ratio, which gives us the freedom to extend and enrich the curriculum and study topics in greater depth, with a focus on pastoral care. Every child is treated as an individual and we have an open and honest approach to communication with parents.
We achieve excellent results by remaining true to our beliefs and supporting every child to develop talents and passions to excel in the classroom and their future learning journey.
