Fulham Library is just a few minutes' walk away and there are plenty of cafes to enjoy the city's vibrant culture. Pupils have access to plenty of green space in the area where they can get some fresh air during the day.

Program

Our ambitious curriculum is carefully crafted to unlock each child's potential and provide a solid foundation for future academic achievement. 

In the Pre Prep (Nursery – Year 2), the curriculum is broad, balanced, engaging and challenging. Strong reading, writing and numeracy skills are vital, and teachers plan the syllabus carefully to ensure that it establishes these essential competencies while offering continuity in learning and pupil progression. The school's core principle is to cultivate an inspiring setting where all children work to the very best of their ability. 

As the children move into the lower prep years (Year 3 and 4), the emphasis is placed on providing a smooth transition from the Pre-Prep years, while supporting and fostering our students' development. Children grow gradually more confident and independent, nurturing critical skills and personal qualities as they navigate our broad and aspirational syllabus. 

During the upper prep years (Year5-8) is a time of academic rigour when pupils develop a deeper understanding across subjects, culminating in outstanding results in the Common Entrance examinations. Students take on more responsibility and become role models for the lower years while championing our values and ethos. As a result, they leave fully equipped for life in senior school and beyond.

Sport

In addition to the curriculum, the school conducts regular sports activities to keep students healthy. Physical education classes take place twice a week in the afternoon, often taking place in nearby green spaces in Fulham. Pupils can play football, netball, rugby and rowing.

Additional activities

As well as the sports, music and drama program that forms part of the curriculum, there are a variety of clubs on offer during lunchtime and after school. Musical ensembles, improv comedy, science clubs, debate, programming, vocal groups, yoga, chess, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, ballet and more are offered each semester. These clubs – A great way to meet like-minded peers, explore different disciplines and learn new skills. Students sign up for clubs and activities at the beginning of each semester, and teachers participate in discussing their choices and helping them plan a balanced curriculum.
