Early Years

Early Years encompasses Nursery and Reception classes and, for many of our pupils, is the first introduction to life at St Catherine’s. They benefit from a child centred approach to learning and a rich mix of child and adult directed activities.

Prep

Our commitment to excellence in teaching and learning continues. While the curriculum, as in Key Stage One, is based on the New National Curriculum, it is not restricted by it.
