Learning Support & Pastoral Care
Small Teaching Groups
In the Pre-School Nursery, the average teacher:pupil ratio is 1:6. Children with specific educational needs are therefore more easily identified and can be helped within the classroom by class and subject teachers, much more readily than in schools with larger class sizes.
Classroom Assistance
Classroom support from Teaching Assistants is available to teachers, especially in the Pre-Prep, to make teaching groups even smaller and more effective.
Assessment
All pupils are assessed, using teacher assessments - both written and digital standardised tests - at regular intervals, so that progress can be continually reviewed and evaluated.
Pastoral Care
At Chard Prep School, prioritising well-being is paramount, with teachers equipped with training in mindfulness programmes. We firmly believe that a child's success, both within and beyond the classroom, hinges on their sense of happiness and security in their environment. By inspiring children to seize the opportunities available at Chard Prep School, we aim to empower them to develop into confident and well-rounded young individuals.
