Meanwhile, our outdoor learning classroom offers the girls unique experiences such as learning bush craft skills.
Finally, our residential trips for Year 3 to Year 6 include experiencing life in Tudor England at Hooke Court and travelling to Dorset for an exciting outdoor programme, including dragon boating in Poole Harbour!

At Tormead Prep we encourage every girl to become fully involved in our Sports Programme and our aim is to offer each girl opportunities to become actively involved in, and to enjoy, as wide a range of sports as possible during her time with us.
Within the curriculum, in their year groups, the girls will learn more about a topic or subject through visits to museums or history days.
On these days, the girls come off timetable to learn more about a topic or celebration. Recent days have encouraged the girls to explore Chinese New Year and linked to our Book Week, an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ afternoon.
Each year, during Inquisitor week, the girls explore and develop their understanding of STEAM subjects through a week of activities linked to science, technology, engineering, arts and maths.
These days complement and strengthen our High Performance Learning approach to the teaching and delivering of the curriculum where growth mindset skills taught in class can be applied to everyday situations and experiences.
The Beacon programme encourages the girls to complete self-directed learning through researching and presenting information on a topic that interests them, beyond (or as an extension to) the subjects that they are taught in class.
The skills the girls use as they learn more about their chosen subject is a direct link to the critical thinking and the High Performance Learning skills that are embedded in our curriculum, enabling them to apply their knowledge and understanding at a deeper level.
