Pre Prep

Incorporating Reception, Year 1 and 2, Pre Prep is where our children begin their formal learning journey.

We ensure all children are offered rich, challenging and fun experiences in a secure and friendly environment. To keep learning exciting, a series of topic-based approaches is used. By linking separate subjects under the umbrella of a topic, the learning is fun and stimulating.

As pupils progress, lessons become more subject-focused, supported by high-quality enrichment activities. The curriculum is skills-based and knowledge-supported, providing a strong foundation for future learning. Specialist lessons are introduced early: from Reception, children enjoy Spanish, Music, Digital and Physical Education; Year 1 adds swimming at the Eton College pool. This measured approach allows pupils to benefit from both form-based learning and specialist expertise.

Qualified teachers, small class sizes, and generous teaching assistant support enable us to provide the best education for every child—from those needing extra support to those with exceptional talents. Staff know pupils well and inspire them to live by the school motto: “I am, I can, I ought, I will.”

Learning at Eton End motivates children to grow in confidence and become independent learners and thinkers. We place equal importance on emotional literacy and academic success, ensuring pupils feel valued and safe. Effective pastoral arrangements, a focus on growth mindset, and thoughtful assessment support each child’s progress. Pupils are encouraged to take responsibility from an early age—through opportunities such as the School Council—and celebrate both their own achievements and those of their peers.
