A very warm welcome to Prep 5!

We are looking forward to working with you to provide a happy and successful year as the children continue their journey through the juniors. 

Our Loreto value this year is Excellence and we will be exploring this throughout the year – beginning with our contribution to the Excellence Assembly looking at excellence in the field of mathematics.

The curriculum in Prep 5 is exciting and also designed to provide a firm foundation for the rigors of Prep 6 and entrance examination preparation.  As well as English, Maths and reasoning, it will include opportunities to learn outside the classroom with trips to Macclesfield Forest to explore Map Skills, Quarry Bank Mill as part of work on the Manchester Worker Bee and the Industrial Revolution and, in the summer term, a trip to Manchester to the Science Museum.

The focus for the year is to develop the children’s independence as they move towards upper juniors.  We are all very excited about the year ahead – to working with the girls, having fun, meeting challenges and taking them onto the next step of their learning journey.
