RECEPTION CLASS
The young and curious minds of our students put smiles on our faces every day, as they learn to quench their thirst for knowledge in both structured and playful ways. These are really important development years where setting the right behaviours and aptitude for learning will lay strong foundations for your child. The Webber Independent team is committed to nurturing the growth of our young students through a number of different learning methods, in a warm, safe and inclusive environment.
Our classrooms offer light, bright and well equipped spaces for our little ones to play, learn and grow. A particular hit with our young students is our recently refurbished Pre-Prep Garden, which is designed to provide a safe place to explore, run, jump, splash, dig, paint, make friends, have fun and learn.
Our Head of Pre-Prep, and highly qualified team, deliver an exciting range of activities, visits and learning experiences, supporting our young learners progress their key skills for the next stage in their learning journey.
YEARS 1 & 2
As your son or daughter progresses to Years 1 and 2 we introduce our Stage not Age Programme, where our young minds benefit from personalised learning according to their ability. This programme ensures that everyone has the appropriate level of challenge, and is able to achieve their best in our small and friendly class sizes.
In Pre-Prep we teach Key Stage 1 of the National Curriculum for England, enhanced by specialist teaching, in Modern Foreign Languages, Physical Education, Geography, Music and more. Our action-led learning combines Phonics and Maths Games with more academic Literacy and Numeracy practices. Additionally, a strong focus on building Cognitive Skills with hands-on 'play' is an important part of learning at The Webber Independent.
Our recently refurbished Pre-Prep Garden provides an ideal place for our enquiring minds to develop their Cognitive Function through exploring and experimenting with different learning skills, such as attention, memory and thinking - building crucial understanding in cause and effect, analysis and evaluation, and making comparisons. We enhance our educational experience through enrichment activities and external trips.
Our Pre-Prep area provides a modern and light space with resources to aid your son or daughter's progression. Our Pre-Prep students have a dedicated Library and Computer Room, and access to iPads and touchscreen technology to enhance their classroom learning experience.

The Webber Independent Prep School offers small class sizes and personalised learning to ensure that everyone has the necessary time and attention to flourish. We continue your child's education with Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum, and our Stage not Age Programme - where we ensure your son or daughter is at the appropriate level of challenge, and is able to achieve their best.

We achieve this through delivering a rich learning experience with subject specialist teaching, which includes, Physical Education, Music, Computer Science, French and Spanish.
Additionally, we enrich the curriculum with educational workshops, bringing learning to life with external specialists. Our interactive storytelling for International Day, and our War Time Tea Party, which brought history to life - proved very popular with our young learners. We also embed online learning and digital tools, such as Pobble, an online writing platform that helps to develop evaluation, critical thinking and self-development skills.
Years 3 to 6 are crucial growth years; we support our students through these important learning years with a balanced approach to academic learning, underpinned with emotional health and well-being support.
