| Staying Until 11 |
Prep years are precious! Girls develop enormously between the ages of 7 and 11 so we have put together a booklet for parents to understand why you should allow your daughter to reach the top of the school at Bramley and benefit from this unique opportunity. Please click on the image to download the booklet. "It is in the Prep part of the School that your daughter will really benefit from being taught by Subject Specialist Teachers who nurture and inspire right up to Common Entrance and senior school examinations. Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning are also taught from seven years of age. With parents, teachers work hard to secure the senior school of their first choice - a success that we are particularly proud of. By the time the girls reach Tops (Year 6), they are independent learners; able to organise themselves; follow timetables and hold responsible positions within the School. This is very attractive to senior schools who value a confident well-rounded girl."Mrs Paula Burgess Headmistress "The wonderfully small classes in the important prep years and the subject specialist teachers mean my daughter has benefitted from superb teaaching and a routine that makes the transition to a senior school simple. An important bonus with the small class sizes that we have really come to appreciate is that our daughter gets to participate in everything such as sports competitions, drama, music - they leave for their senior school at 11 with the belief that they can achieve anything." Bramley Parent
"I strongly recommend young children having continuity in the early years of their education through Key Stages 1 and 2. They also develop, more fully, their friendship groups which I think is very important and moving at age 11 is the most logical process for around 95% of young children in Britain. Girls who stay at Bramley until 11 have the best possible experience."
