Hilden Grange School

Early Years

The Early Years unit, which includes Nursery and Reception, provides an exciting and stimulating start to a Hilden Grange education. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework with a mix of teacher led and child initiated learning as well as a variety of open ended activities for children to explore. Teaching and activities in the EYFS are designed to meet the ‘Early Learning Goals’ which include Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development. The close ties between Nursery and Reception ensure a seamless transition when children move year groups.

Pre-Prep

In the Pre-Prep we provide an engaging, nurturing environment that stimulates learning, builds confidence and encourages creativity. Above all, we foster independent learning, building firm foundations for the future.

Prep School

In the Prep School our children enjoy a broad curriculum and specialist teaching in all subjects. The core subjects of English, mathematics, science and ICT are taught throughout the school. Our children are encouraged to achieve their own personal level of excellence and are given every opportunity to develop enquiring minds and self-reliance with the support of exceptional teaching staff.

Year 7&8

Small class sizes and specialist subject teachers ensure that our pupils receive a first class education, within a positive, nurturing and intimate setting.  Our facilities are excellent.   Pupils are placed in sets for English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French and Latin and outstanding teaching ensures that they are thoroughly prepared for public examinations. Through such initiatives as study skills workshops, they are taught how to learn and as a result develop good working habits that will stay with them through the rest of their education.
