Pre-School

The CHS JOURNEY STARTS HERE

The CHS journey starts in Pre-School

We offer a warm, nurturing environment where curiosity is encouraged, individuality is embraced, and every child is gently supported as they take their first steps into school life.

From day one, our Pre-Schoolers are part of the wider CHS community, wearing their uniform with pride, building friendships, and gaining the confidence and independence they’ll need for a happy transition into Reception and beyond.

“All children have a natural curiosity and desire to learn. From the foundation, we help our youngest children grow into confident, capable, enthusiastic young people with respect for their world and for those whom they share it.”

Mr Vincent Weightman, Head of Pre-School & Junior School

A joyful start to school life.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE

Through play-based experiences and time spent outdoors, children begin to explore the world around them. They enjoy access to green fields, a vegetable garden, musical activities and a wide range of sports and creative play. Swimming lessons begin from age 3 in our on-site pool, helping to build confidence from an early stage.

Our Pre-School class is for children aged 3-4 and runs daily during term time, from 8.30am to 3.30pm. It is housed in a dedicated modular building within the Infant School playground, offering a safe and stimulating environment. Wraparound care is available before and after school, in line with the provision offered to our Junior pupils.
