From EYFS to Year 6, our broad and ambitious curriculum nurtures every child's intellectual curiosity, creative talent, and love of learning.
Carefully structured programmes from Early Years through to Year 6, each building on the last with ambition, depth and joy.
Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum is, enriched with a Montessori approach, and sets the foundation for lifelong learning. As they progress into their primary years, we seamlessly transition into the British curriculum, ensuring world-class facilities support their growth and development.
Tots Academy is more than just a place of education, it is a nurturing and inspiring community where students embark on a transformative journey of growth and discovery.
In Years 1 and 2, we build on the excitement of EYFS with structured, engaging lessons that develop core skills in English and Mathematics alongside a rich and varied wider curriculum. Our teachers balance rigorous academic content with playful, active learning.
Pupils develop fluency in reading, build confidence as writers, and begin to think mathematically. Science, History, Geography, Art and Music all feature prominently, ensuring children develop broadly and joyfully.
Years 3 to 6 represent the peak of primary education — and at Academy Prep, this is where pupils truly flourish. Our KS2 curriculum is ambitious and broad, combining rigorous academic challenge with a wealth of enrichment opportunities.
Pupils study an extensive range of subjects, develop critical thinking, and begin to take ownership of their learning. By Year 6, they are confident, independent learners ready to excel at secondary school and beyond.
Six principles that guide every lesson, every day, across every year group at Academy Prep.
We ensure every child truly understands a concept before moving on. Depth over pace — knowledge that sticks for life.
Children learn by asking great questions. We build curiosity and critical thinking through investigation and discovery.
Small class sizes allow our teachers to tailor their approach to every pupil — stretching the gifted, supporting those who need it.
Partner work, group projects and class discussion develop communication skills and help children learn from each other.
Our teaching is grounded in the latest educational research, with continuous professional development for all staff.
We connect classroom learning to the wider world through trips, visiting experts, community projects and global citizenship.
Our pupils consistently outperform national averages — but more importantly, they leave us as confident, well-rounded young people.
