The Gregg Preparatory School is a small school, in central Southampton, close to the university. The school’s aim is to make the most of Individual Talent – nurturing every child. The school caters for children aged 4–11, and provides before and after-care from 8.00 am until 6.00 pm.
The School aims to provide for the whole child through a varied curriculum, with a wide programme of study and opportunities to develop all aspects of every pupil’s talents. The core subjects, English, Maths and Science, as well as the development of ICT skills, are at the centre of learning throughout the school. The school follows the Pre Senior Baccalaureate assessments model that has at its heart the development of the values, skill, attitudes and behaviours required for children to succeed and flourish in an ever-changing world. Pupils are encouraged and helped to develop a disciplined approach to personal study skills at all ages. Group and class activities help everyone to experience cooperative work and gain useful understanding of others’ skills and feelings.
Details of the curriculum can be found on our website. A structured academic programme is covered by all age groups. This is delivered by specialist staff that enable every pupil to achieve their potential. Continuous assessment and tests prepare the upper school pupils for their entrance exams and for further achievement at secondary school.
The School provides regular feedback about pupils’ progress at Parents’ Evenings and through reports. Newsletters are emailed to parents informing them of events pupils are involved in, as well as activities happening within the school. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their children’s education wherever possible.
The School is proud of its achievements in music, drama, games, swimming and dance. As well as our own two indoor hall spaces and playground, the school takes advantage of The Gregg School’s sporting facilities. Weekly games, swimming and gym/dance sessions with qualified staff are provided, as well as a variety of after-school activities.
Upper school pupils gain valuable experience while preparing for their Pre Senior Baccalaureate Certificate. Each year many pupils achieve distinctions and merits but, most importantly, all gain much personal satisfaction and confidence that will help them in later life.
Further opportunities are provided, through extracurricular activities, to develop pupils’ individual talents and personal strengths and interests. Monthly Achievement Assemblies celebrate individual and group interests in and out of school as well as focusing on pupils’ Endeavour and Courtesy within school. These are an opportunity for every individual to learn their own self-worth.
