Unlocking every pupils’ potential
At Salcombe’s Pre-Prep, pupils embark on an academic journey filled with increasing challenges and positive encouragement to reach their full potential.
While we adhere to the National Curriculum, pupils are encouraged to surpass expectations, often working a year ahead. Our diverse timetable ensures a rich learning experience, covering a wide range of subjects. In English, pupils delve into grammar and descriptive writing, while Maths focuses on essential skills such as coin recognition and basic arithmetic.
Through ICT, they become familiar with laptop applications, preparing for the digital world. Additionally, through the study of Modern Foreign Languages, they gain a global perspective and strong language foundations.
As pupils progress to Year 2, both Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning are introduced into our curriculum, enriching pupils' cognitive abilities and preparing them for the challenges ahead. Moving to Year 2 also brings exciting new responsibilities, as pupils become role models for younger peers and occasionally assist Early Years pupils with reading.

Every Child's Learning Journey
Personalised Learning: Empowering Every Child
For pupils beginning their educational journey at Pre-Prep, we prioritise addressing any educational gaps to ensure a smooth and confident start.
We understand that all pupils learn at different rates and possess varying abilities compared to their peers. This is why we take pride in adapting our teaching and learning techniques to every pupil’s specific needs, amplifying their strengths, providing support in areas of difficulty, and empowering each pupil to believe, achieve, and thrive in their success.
Learning outside the classroom
At Salcombe Prep, learning is an adventure. Exciting outings to places such as the London Transport Museum and London Postal Museum enhance our curriculum, building anticipation for future trips each term.
Trips and visits are a crucial part of our educational approach, offering hands-on experiences that leave lasting memories. Our dedicated teaching staff plan diverse trips, seamlessly integrating them into our curriculum to instil life skills beyond the classroom.
