Academic
Dean Close Preparatory School aims to inspire its pupils to a lifelong love of learning. It strives to equip each child with the skill and confidence to be an independent thinker, able to tackle a task either as an individual or as part of a team.
The children follow a broad based and stimulating curriculum that is delivered by specialist teachers who bring their own love of their subject into the classroom. The academic curriculum is based upon the National Curriculum in Years 3 to 6 and the Common Entrance Curriculum in Years 7 to 8. Throughout the school pupils are taught by specialist teachers for French, Music, PE and Games. As pupils move up the school they see an increasing number of subject specialists.
Dean Close Preparatory School meets the educational needs of a wide range of individual abilities and aims to provide an appropriate education for every child in the family. The small classes and experienced Learning Support Department mean the school is able to extend the most able to academic excellence while supporting the less able on an individual basis.
At DCPS we seek to develop the whole person in preparation for entry to the Senior School. All children take part in a Life Skills programme, which encourages them to consider issues about their lives and the lives of others. Life at school is very busy and the pupils quickly learn how to apply themselves with a keen purposefulness.
Educational Activities Throughout the year the children are given the chance to take part in many different activities both in and out of school, which are designed to further enhance their educational development. Visits to the theatre, art galleries and museums as well as to places of historical and geographical interest take place for children of all ages throughout the year. Apart from off site residential trips all trips are included in the fee structure. Pupils also enjoy regular visits by speakers and performers who bring their enthusiasms, passions, adventures, achievements and experiences into the classroom.
