Lower School Curriculum

I firmly believe that magic, awe and wonder in the curriculum are a mustHigh aspirations are fundamental to our approach. From the early stages of learning in Reception to Year Three, we are focused on developing lifelong learners who thrive on challenge and adventure.  Our curriculum is bespoke, child led and most importantly fun. Our unique holistic programme is immersive, fast paced, high energy and gets the very best from the children. Children learn best when academic rigour is accompanied by time in the outdoors and our Horris Hill Wild Child Charter recognises this. By the time the boys are in Year Three, ready to transition into our Upper School, we will have equipped them with a secure foundation built on a dynamic, broad and balanced range of educational opportunities and experiences.
