Our Preparatory School caters for children from Year III to Year VIII all of whom can attend as day pupils, flexi or weekly boarders. For day pupils the school day runs from 8.30am to 6pm, with all children enjoying a break for lunch at 12.50, when they have a choice of a freshly cooked nutritious main course or a salad and a dessert. Glebe House does not have school on Saturdays, although some matches are played then. From Year III children begin to have their lessons taught by subject specialists until by Year V all of their lessons are specialist taught. They will cover the usual curriculum areas plus French, ICT, PE & Games (including swimming), Music & Drama.

The children will play games on three afternoons a week, with Wednesdays and some Saturdays the usual day for inter school matches. A wide range of lunchtime clubs catering for a variety of sports and interests are available. These would typically include tennis, golf, art, cookery, wildlife garden, chess amongst others. Homework is done in school at the end of each day.

Individual music lessons and ballet can also be organised within the school day.

We assess our pupils using NFER & PIPS/MIDYIS testing to give us a national bench mark to track the children's progress.
