Curriculum at Streatham & Clapham High School: Inspiring Girls

The Early Years curriculum at Streatham & Clapham Prep School is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, ensuring that every child receives a well-rounded education. Our approach is child-centred, focusing on play-based learning that is both structured and flexible. We understand that every child is unique, and our experienced teachers tailor their approach to meet the individual needs and interests of each girl.

Key areas of learning include:

Communication and Language: Developing strong communication skills is at the heart of our Early Years programme. Through storytelling, discussions, and interactive activities, we help girls expand their vocabulary, improve listening skills and express themselves confidently.

Physical Development: We prioritise physical well-being, offering a range of activities that promote coordination, balance and overall health. Our outdoor spaces provide ample opportunities for play, exploration and learning in a natural setting.

Personal, Social, and Emotional Development: Building positive relationships and a sense of self are key components of our Early Years education. We encourage girls to develop independence, resilience and empathy through collaborative play and guided activities.

Literacy and Numeracy: Early literacy and numeracy skills are nurtured through fun and engaging activities that inspire a love of reading, writing and problem-solving. Our approach integrates these skills into daily routines, making learning a natural and enjoyable part of each day.

Understanding the World: We introduce girls to the world around them through hands-on experiences in science, technology, history and geography. Curiosity is encouraged, with activities designed to help girls explore and make sense of their environment.

Expressive Arts and Design: Creativity is celebrated at SCPS. Our Early Years programme includes a variety of opportunities for artistic expression, including painting, music, drama and dance. We believe that every child is an artist, and we provide the tools and encouragement for them to express their ideas and emotions.
