Unlike the huge state system, a prep school does not have the ability to exhaustively study and develop a program to teach core subjects. As a result, many schools have adopted prepared teaching programs. Not all chools use these programs, but several have been very widely adopted. These programs provide text books, work books, and other teaching materials. This also means that the children from many different prep schools have very similar cademic preparation. The choices involved are often dreived after consultations with senior schools. This is advantageous for them because it means the incoming students have similar levels of preparation.
We maintain a close link with the Senior School over syllabus, and consequently we adopt the Schools Mathematics Project, the Cambridge Latin Course, the audio-visual French approach and the Nuffield Science Course.
