Year 3 is the first year for the girls in the Prep department at Rupert House. It is situated on the top floor of the main building. The girls are taken to visit their new classrooms and spend some time with the Form 3 teachers in the last few weeks of the summer term, at the end of Year 2. This gives them the chance to ask questions about the coming academic year and about what might be expected of them.
There are two forms in Year 3, each having its own designated form teacher. The girls have specialist teachers for art, music, P.E., French, IT and design technology but all other subjects are taught by the two Year 3 teachers.
Classes are small and this allows staff to teach the girls on a one to one basis as well as to the group.
Years 4, 5 and 6 are taught by specialist subject teachers for all subjects. Staff meet regularly to monitor the girls’ progress across the subjects. As with Year 3, these year groups are organised into small classes each with its own designated form teacher who is responsible for monitoring progress and ensuring that the girls are happy and achieving.
