Heading for the Prep School

The Walled Garden, Sandroyd Pre-Prep is the home to our Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes and is a wonderful start to life at Sandroyd. 

It is assumed that children who have attended The Walled Garden Pre-Prep will continue their education with Sandroyd into the prep school.

As the Pre-Prep children utilise many areas of the prep school they are familiar with their next step environment. To really embed this throughout the year there are a number of days and events that allows the Year 2 children the opportunity to further experience the Prep school and become more familiar with their new classroom in the Junior Wing.

Although the children will have spent much time in the prep school - during meal times, sports and activities - when they join the prep school in Year 3 they will no longer be taught in The Walled Garden, and instead will move to the main school building.

By starting Sandroyd in The Walled Garden, the transition into the prep school is smooth and provides a consistent education.
