The Curriculum
With small classes and a high pupil to teacher ratio, Wycliffe gives very personalised attention to the learning of each child.
Games & The Arts
The extra-curricular provision at Wycliffe is wide-reaching and all-encompassing, with something for every child. Sport and the arts play a major role in life at the school.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is very strong at Wycliffe Prep School. The care, security, welfare and happiness of pupils come first, as Wycliffe believes that a happy child, free from worry, will learn and achieve more. The positive relationship between pupils and staff and the approachability of Wycliffe staff were identified as key strengths in a recent parent survey. Nearly all worries are managed – and solved – by form tutors.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
We believe in fun, being outdoors and active as much as possible, getting messy, exploring and holding on to that wonderful sense of curiosity into the early teenage years. We believe in a robust academic offering which challenges individuals and encourages enquiry and a desire to learn. Young people need a strong emotional awareness and resilience which underpins a child’s knowledge and understanding of themselves.
