OUR ACADEMICS
The Academic Programme at Woodridge Preparatory aims to develop confident, happy, motivated and engaged children. Children who can question, think critically, work collaboratively and independently, and form their own opinions about the world they live in.
Our thematic approach to teaching and learning ensures that essential real-life skills are at the heart of the curriculum. We actively seek to use our immediate surroundings as a stimulus for learning; outdoor education and experiential learning lie at the heart of our child-centred curriculum.
Our pupils are provided with the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding needed to succeed in an ever-changing world. This encourages them to develop the positive attitudes and values required to make a meaningful contribution to society.
Our academic year is divided into two semesters: January to June and July to November. Complete academic reports are emailed to parents in June and November. Pupils are assessed in various ways, both formatively (through continuous ongoing assessment for learning) and summatively (through scheduled assessments at the end of each theme). Grade 7 pupils write examinations in May and November. The academics is run by a committee comprised of the Headmaster, the Deputy Headmaster and the Head of Foundation Phase.
The holistic education approach at Woodridge Preparatory considers all aspects of the child. Our caring staff nurtures their social, spiritual, physical and emotional well-being alongside their academic development. We stress the importance of moral values, respect and empathy for others, and the need to make a difference in the world around them. Each pupil is encouraged to achieve to the best of their ability in every aspect of school life. We strive to meet the learning needs of all children and have a dedicated learning support team on campus. This team consists of Remedial Therapists, an Auditory, Speech & Language Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist and Kumon.
