Early Years activity afternoons
Aimed at families looking for places in Preschool and Reception in the Winchester, Hampshire area. These include a welcome from Prep School Head, Liz Norris, and Shelly Say, our Head of Early Years, followed by a range of activities for our visiting children and a chance to see our Early Years provision and meet our staff.
We provide an extraordinary education, going far beyond the core Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. Our preschool and reception are adventure-filled and children are immersed in a world of opportunities and exciting experiences.
All of our open days occur on a Friday afternoon in term time. Due to the popularity of these sessions, we will be in touch again with you about two weeks prior to the open afternoon for you to confirm that you would still like your place.
For any other admissions enquiries please contact prep school registrar Mrs Sara Mathieson via telephone or email.
