Our Academic Approach
The academic approach to our Prep curriculum is vibrant, aspirational and inclusive. Our highly experienced and dedicated Prep teachers will work with your daughter throughout her primary school years to fulfil her academic potential. Throughout our curriculum we embed our SMS character strengths of teamwork, ambition, kindness, enthusiasm, curiosity, adventure, resilience and excellence. As well as supporting your daughter’s character development these values will enable her to become independent and inquisitive with a life long love for learning.
As an independent school, whilst following the National Curriculum guidelines, we have the freedom to build an exciting and innovative curriculum that challenges and engages our pupils. It is a curriculum designed to develop higher-order thinking, problem-solving and smart research. Your daughter will be encouraged to be reflective of her learning and to discover her own learning preferences. Constructive marking, feedback and assessment, will support your daughter to self-reflect and achieve.
