ACADEMIC ROUTINE The School Day Every morning there is registration followed by Assembly, Form Time or House meetings. There are either 5 or 6 lessons on the morning timetable and these are usually the academic subjects. The children have a lunch break where they will eat lunch, head outside to play or take part in squads, choir and other activities. Following afternoon registration, the lessons predominantly focus on Games, Music, Drama and other activities. At the end of the school day we move into the sports squads or optional after-school activities and clubs. The school day ends at 5.00 p.m. Homework From Year 1, homework starts to become an integral part of the day for the children. Initially they will have 20 minutes of homework. This is supplemented by nightly reading. This workload will increase as they approach Common Entrance with an average of 1 ½ hours being set for our oldest children. They will also be expected to continue to develop their personal reading. Monitoring Progress Parents receive termly written reports alongside regular parent teacher meetings and information evenings. These are timed to provide parents with effective guidance at key moments in their child s education. Excellent academic work is rewarded with Good Shows. Parents are encouraged to be in regular contact with both staff and the Head regarding their child s progress and the choice of next schools. Uniform The school uniform is supplied through Perry uniform. Peter Jones in Sloane Square also supplies our Boys Pre-Prep uniform. There are regular fittings days in school together with a number of second hand uniform sales every year. - 2 -

PREP SCHOOLS RESIDENTIAL TRIPS The boys have the opportunity to explore many different areas of both the UK and France. At Eaton House Schools we believe that the educational value of such residential extra-curricular activities is enormous. YEAR 4 The Year 4 boys travel to a PGL Centre in the UK for 3 days of team building exercises, including Abseiling, Archery, Bouldering Wall, Challenge Course, Climbing, Fencing, Initiative Exercises, Orienteering, Problem Solving and Trapeze. YEAR 5 The Year 5 boys travel to a different PGL centre in the UK for 5 days and here the focus is on team building, including activities such as fossil hunting, mini beast hunts and pond dipping. YEAR 6 The Year 6 boys travel to France for a six-day programme of French activities, history and outdoor pursuits. The boys stay at the Château de la Baudonnière in Normandy. They will visit Arromanches-les-Bains to see one of the beaches used in the D-Day Landing, the Bayeux tapestry, Mont Saint Michel, a market in Dinan and, of course, a whole range of outdoor activities from archery to canoeing. YEAR 7 In Year 7 the boys take part in a multi-faceted five-day trip to Wales which is designed to cover the Common Entrance Geography field work. In addition they will enjoy Art, History and orienteering. YEAR 8 At the end of Year 8, the boys all spend five days with The Outward Bound Trust in the Lake District. The trip gives the boys their last chance to travel together as a whole year group and is designed to give them skills to build on in preparation for the move to their Senior Schools. Whilst away, the boys earn The John Muir Award for environmental work. The highlight of this five-day trip is always the overnight wilderness expedition. - 10 -
