Year 3 Entry

Springmead School welcomes children for entry into Year 3, where many more opportunities open up for children.  Within our Prep department, strong emphasis is placed on creating a friendly and supportive environment in which pupils can develop their self-esteem and talents to the full.  

 Our small class sizes, high staff ratio, specialised teaching, and the myriad of extra-curricular activities pave the way for every pupil’s success - our Year 3 children begin to find out who they are.  We offer over 20 clubs at lunchtimes and after school, across the week to choose from.  All these extra elements to school life mean that children know themselves, find their strengths and interests within different friendship groups of children and build confidence.  

Our curriculum goes above and beyond the National Curriculum - our academic results are excellent, we assess children externally with GL assessment, so we are sure our teaching methods are exacting.

The child's voice is an important part of school life,we have a strong School Council, Reading Ambassadors, an Eco Committee and Digital Leaders who help us make decisions about school and all we offer.  This is a great way for children to begin to develop opinions and shape the school.    

Our next Year 3 Scholarship Day is on Friday 23rd May for current Year 2 children.
