Our school day is structured so that pupils can gain the most out of the time available for academic teaching, with ring-fenced time for the extensive range of activities available.
Pupils are dropped off at both Lower and Upper Schools in time for registration at 8.30am. We do offer some morning co-curricular activities and drop off for these will be different times for those children signed up for these.
The formal school day ends at 3.30pm at the Lower School and 4.00pm at the Upper School followed by a wide range of optional co-curricular activities and these run for an hour.
We recognise that working parents may need a little more flexibility and we therefore offer extended school hours as well as coverage in the school holidays.
Wraparound care is available with an early morning drop-off option at 7.40am and flexible pick-up between the end of after-school clubs (4.30pm in the Lower School and 5.00pm in the Upper School) and 6.00pm. The sessions can be booked regularly or on an ad-hoc basis.
This provision is run by our existing staff members so they already know the children very well and we provide activities based on their interests and energy levels! In the past, the fun has included giant Jenga challenges, dance sessions, quiet reading, Dobble championships, and making ancient Egyptian crowns.
We are delighted to partner with Ultimate Activity Camps to run their fun, safe and engaging holiday camps at our school using our wonderful facilities. They work with some of the best independent schools in the country and have a strong reputation for high quality holiday camps.
This Ofsted-accredited holiday camp is for all children aged 4.5 – 11 years old who will have the chance to try over 40 exciting sports, games, and creative activities each week. The activities will be delivered by engaging, enthusiastic, and energetic staff who will instruct and encourage every child to try new activities and make new friends – and naturally have lots of fun!
Families can book by the day or by the week. Arrival is at 8.30 – 9.30am each day and collection at 4.30 – 5.15pm. Discounts are available for families at Prospect House and other schools in the Dukes Education family.
What children eat affects their health and their ability to learn and perform, both in the classroom and on the field. So we are committed to ensuring that our children receive a wholesome, nutritious, balanced and delicious meal each day. Our in-house catering team tailor menus to their tastes, preferences and dietary requirements.
We educate the students on how to make healthier food choices to instil a love and understanding of fresh, healthy food at a young age that will positively influence them throughout life.
The team introduces further interest and excitement to menus through themed lunches ranging from holidays like Easter and Christmas to cuisines from around the world, tying these into the school curriculum whenever possible in a fun and stimulating way. Our catering team will accommodate any allergy, exclusion diet, food intolerance and religious requirement, along with pupils’ natural likes and dislikes.
