Pre-Prep Department
Three years: Lower-Prep, Middle-Prep and Upper-Prep
Girls and boys aged 4-7
Day school with extended day options
Situated in modern, purpose-built accommodation with a dedicated 
play area, our youngest pupils enjoy the very best start to their time at Hethersett Old Hall School.
With our small class sizes, of no more than 16, ensuring individual attention, lesson time and play time combine to take the children on an exciting voyage of educational discovery.
"Our class sizes mean we really get to know each boy and girl"
Mrs Jones, Pre-Prep teacher
Girls and boys in Pre-Prep quickly develop self-confidence, respect for others and the social skills that are so important for the future.
The Curriculum
The key skills of reading, writing and numeracy are developed in a stimulating atmosphere that builds on children's natural inquisitiveness and enthusiasm for learning. Breadth of opportunity is equally important, so they begin to study a modern foreign language and make full use of the school facilities, such as the indoor heated swimming pool.
See examples of Pre-Prep work and our Photo Gallery. You can also take a look at the activities that take place throughout the school in the 2009 edition of Highlights (PDF).
