Prep Curriculum

There are twice as many English and Maths lessons as a standard prep school would for all our juniors, coupled with having two teachers in each class for these key subjects. Historically, it is so often these core skills that have hindered pupils from both comprehending the work being studied and showing their potential.

On top of the core English and Maths, pupils are taught the following subjects to give breadth and variety to their curriculum.

Science
Geography
History
Religious Studies
French
PSHE
Music
Design and Technology
Art

The curriculum is balanced and broadly based, and strongly promotes the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development of our pupils. It prepares our pupils well for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life in British Society, including the provision for their economic well-being. It enables pupils to acquire skills in speaking, reading, writing, listening and numeracy.

The admissions process for Bruern Abbey Prep and Senior School is carefully structured to reflect our small size and specialist focus. While it is detailed, it can be outlined in the five key stages here.
