Enrichment Overview
We are delighted to introduce our Enrichment & Scholarships Programme, designed to offer unique opportunities for young learners. With sessions scheduled throughout the academic year, we invite pupils to partake in a range of activities, providing a glimpse into the enriching King's journey. These sessions, held on select Saturdays and Wednesday afternoons, are a testament to our commitment to educational excellence and an opportunity for pupils to experience first-hand the dynamic and supportive learning environment at King’s College Prep. For consideration for a scholarship, pupils must attend at least three events, complete our assessment papers and join us for a taster day.
Parental Engagement
On arrival, while their children immerse themselves in the activities, parents are welcome to engage with other members of the King's community over coffee in the Woodard Room. Following this, a guided tour of our school, led by a member of our Senior Management Team or Admissions, offers an intimate look into the life at King's College Prep. This is a perfect opportunity for parents to witness the all-rounded development their children can achieve here, finished off with the opportunity to observe their children engaging in the session's activities. Our programme not only focuses on pupils' academic and co-curriccular growth but also emphasises the importance of parental involvement and awareness in their children's educational journey.
