In the Pre-Prep, we very much believe that education is a partnership between school and home. We recognise and encourage the central role that parents play in their child's learning and development. To achieve this, we strive to inform and involve parents as much as we possibly can. We aim to produce well-rounded, articulate children by providing a balanced curriculum covering all aspects of their development - social, emotional, physical and intellectual.
"Taunton Pre-Preparatory and Nursery School provides a stimulating and happy environment and many worthwhile learning opportunities." Ofsted 2004
Courses:We offer Nursery & Pre-Preparatory education for boys and girls aged 2 1/2 to 7 years. We also provide after School Care.
The children within the Pre-Prep. will experience a variety of teaching methods. The Curriculum will encourage a progressive development of skills, the children will be given opportunities for investigative and practical activities, alongside structured play and collaborative work. We aim to develop the children as learners, encouraging them in how to work, as well as how to play, and cooperate with others.
Mission Statement:
Our Mission Statement is "Shaping children for life in the 21st Century"
What does this mean?
It is about educating the whole child in a holistic way and teaching about The Five Dispositions for Life Long Learning - The Five Rs:
Resilience - We know that sometimes learning is hard, but we are resilient and we stick at it.
Responsibility - We are responsible for our classroom, our learning and for one another.
Resourcefulness - We are resourceful and make good choices about ourselves and about our work.
Reasoning - We reason things through carefully and check our thinking as we go.
Reflectivity and Reflexivity - When we do something we always reflect on what we have learned and what we could do differently next time.
Our Motto is "Carpe Diem" - Seize the day
Children throughout Taunton School are taught to seize and relish each opportunity, making the most of each and every moment.
We are positive, productive citizens, with can do attitudes all contributing to our wider learning community. Each one of us has special talents, ranging from music and the creative arts, debating, acting, public speaking, sport, care in the community and fund raising for our local charities. We all have academic potential and are proud that our results are above the local and national averages without being a selective school.
