Alpha Preparatory School

As part of the ethos of the School, we aim to nurture, encourage and challenge each child to grow as a learner and a responsible citizen. We are a small, friendly school with a long history of helping our children to develop the personal, social and academic skills that will underpin their success in life.

Our belief at Alpha is that the School and the parent body should work in partnership with each other.

We aim to provide an environment which safeguards the welfare of our children, is effectively resourced (including appropriate technology) and allows children to experience stimulating and high quality teaching. Our expectation is that children will leave us as confident, enthusiastic pupils with the skills and attitudes to successfully enter the next phase of their education.

Broadly, our aims are:

To provide a broad and balanced curriculum which gives priority to literacy, numeracy and science. The curriculum should provide a variety of stimulating challenges, with a view to ensuring that all pupils are stretched according to their ability
To provide a happy, safe and disciplined environment in which all children can learn and are encouraged to realise their full potential, both academically and socially.
To encourage in our children a sense of responsibility to each other and respect their values and beliefs.
To help our children develop a pride in their work, their appearance and their environment.
To teach our children the value of good manners and the need to accept responsibility for their own actions.
To adhere to the school’s Christian tradition, but at the same time develop an understanding and respect for the beliefs of others. As such, all children, are expected to take a full part in the life of the School.
