At Hampton Pre-Pre & Prep, our curriculum is knowledge-rich, taught with rigour and always intended to be relevant to the developing lives of every child here. Lessons are highly engaging, exciting and the pace is swift. We also believe that preparing pupils for life beyond the classroom is just as important as what they learn within it, in academic terms. We understand therefore that the range of dispositions our pupils develop whilst they are in our care are not only essential for absorbing what happens in lessons at our School, they also help to form the foundations for lifelong learning and success.
Following a process of careful consideration, plenty of collaborative and professional discussion, alongside the guidance from experts in this field, we have created a set of skills that we hope will help prepare all our pupils for learning and for life.
- This real-world skills framework sits alongside our curriculum, and is designed to operate in concert with it.
- These diverse but interconnected skills include critical thinking, collaboration, resilience and reflection amongst a small number of others.
- We hope the deliberate and intentional teaching of these skills – and how to use them – will deepen subject understanding, and support the development of every pupil at our school into independent, self-aware, real-world learners.
