Provision

Expertise and excellence in Early Childhood Education

Through our bespoke ‘best practice’ five-year curriculum, we deliver the specialist provision that is required to optimise your child’s crucial ECE. The definition of this period coincides precisely with the age range of our provision, i.e. from 2+ in our Kindergarten to 7+ at the end of Key Stage 1.

Five years of continuous Early Childhood Education

Five years of curriculum progress at Herne Hill School

We deliver our five-year continuous provision over three curriculum stages out of two nearby sites on Herne Hill, both of which are ideally suited for the children’s respective ages.

We take them seamlessly through multiple, notoriously ‘tricky’ transitions, most notably from an initially entirely play-based learning approach to a more formal one and, from a statutory curriculum perspective, completing the EYFS and Key Stage 1.

Throughout, we ensure our pupils retain their innate sense of curiosity and joy of learning and benefit from the opportunity to become the oldest children at the school in a co-educational environment.
