Prep School Overview

At the start of Year 3, when the children leave the Pre-prep or they join us for the first time, they enter Junior House. From that secure base they learn to move further afield into the school for certain lessons, ready for the next step of the Middle school, which begins at the start of Year 5. Many of the children’s lessons over the next two academic years are taught by specialist teachers, but the child’s form tutor sees them regularly through the day and teaches the humanities programme.

Finally the boys and girls really get to spread their wings in the Upper school, and are taught by subject specialists all day, touching base with their form teachers twice a day. In their last two years at Junior King’s they receive the freedom and responsibility that they deserve and desire, as they prepare to leave us after their Common Entrance or Scholarship for their Senior schools.

Throughout their time at JKS, the children are given the levels of support and encouragement that enable them to flourish and so fulfil their potential.
