HOW WE TEACH
We offer a stimulating and exciting curriculum in well-resourced classrooms.
Teaching is creative and imaginative and we set high academic expectations for all our pupils. We are experienced in planning and preparing our children for the 11+ transition to some of the most selective senior schools.
We are committed to identifying each pupil’s individual learning needs and we offer provision that is flexible and varied to ensure that children work at age-related expectations or above and achieve their personal potential, whatever their needs and abilities.
Give your child the gift of academic excellence

11+ Preparation
Our 11+ preparation programme is well established to meet the challenges of 11+ entrance examinations
The preparation towards 11+ at Kingscourt Prep is not limited to 2 year cramming, but scaffolded from Year 1, placing our knowledge of each individual child and family at the heart of the process, and reducing the need for stress, supporting well-being.
The children are taught to use and apply their knowledge in both exam papers and interviews and their exam technique has been developed throughout their time in our Prep school so that they feel confident and well prepared.
PERSONALISED LEARNING
Helping pupils fulfil their potential
Our approach is built around educating every child using a personalised learning approach which is designed to give everyone who comes to our school the care and attention they need to be happy and successful.
All our children are encouraged to take risks and to be confident independent learners.
We make sure our children engage enthusiastically, embrace new ideas and are intellectually stimulated and eager to learn, not just whilst at Kingscourt Prep School, but in their futures beyond school-life.
Pursuit of the highest achievements
We believe that all children are entitled to an education that will enable them to develop to their full potential, be that intellectual, physical, aesthetic, creative, emotional, spiritual or social.
We are committed to providing a stimulating and suitably challenging curriculum for all our pupils, in the pursuit of the highest academic and pastoral achievements.
Able, gifted and talented (AG+T) pupils should be given the opportunity to access an optimal breadth and depth of learning; as such we aim to provide opportunities to develop specific skills and talents.
Ed Tech
Supporting a digital learning journey
We have a balanced approach to technology here at Kingscourt Prep School, using it to supplement and extend traditional teaching methods, always with an eye on children’s ‘screen time’ and supported with lessons on internet safety.
We have also taken the next step in our digital learning journey by providing all pupils in Year 3 and above with a laptop. We believe that 1:1 devices are powerful tools that augment and transform the learning experience while offering the best possible resilience against any disruption to students’ educations.
All our classrooms are equipped with large, wall-hung tech screens. Our children learn to use these to great effect with even our youngest nursery children engaging with the toddler-height level interactive whiteboard to practise phonics, Spanish and mini discos!
