In detail
Explorer Class
Age 3 – 5
Where young minds launch big adventures.
What your child will study

Numeracy
Beyond counting into early problem-solving and logical reasoning — number recognition, patterns, sorting and basic operations.

Parent questions
How is this different from the Sprouts Class?
While both focus on play, Explorers dive deeper. Think of it as science lab meets storytelling time.
My child is a bit shy. Will they fit in?
Absolutely. Our Little Leaders programme gently encourages every child to participate at their own pace.
Do they need to read before joining?
Not at all. We meet every child where they are and guide them forward.
Parents ask themselves
Is the work pitched right for my child?
What happens if they are ahead — or behind?
Those are the right questions. Every page here is written to answer them plainly — and the admissions team will answer them in person on 07044000075.
The learning journey
“Sixteen class levels, one continuous arc — from a first morning to a university offer letter.”
How it works here
Known by name, taught by specialists.
Core work is reinforced under specialist supervision before the last bell, which is why children leave without a bag full of homework and still make progress.
Learning and evaluation happen together. Struggling learners get targeted support early; strong ones are stretched further.
Pastoral care is structural, not optional. Every child has an adult whose job is to notice.
