A Virtual Tour of Aldwickbury School

When can my son join Aldwickbury?

Pre-Prep

The most obvious place to start Aldwickbury is at the very beginning in Reception. Our classes are small and welcoming providing a special place for your son to begin his education journey.

Alongside Reception we do have boys joining in both Year 1 and 2. They are most welcome and settle in quickly due to the caring and attentive staff as well as the little friends they make.

Juniors

Whilst the majority of boys who join the Junior Department come from the Pre-Prep there are always a number of new joiners in both Year 3 and 4 and this can be throughout the year. The classes in these years are still small and class teachers are there to look after the boys whole educational and pastoral experience. The day is a little longer until 4pm as a daily games session is included in their timetable.

Years 5 & 6

Due to the nature of parents' working life families are often required to move. At whatever stage your son joins Aldwickbury our strong pastoral system will ensure he is not missed and is well looked after. Either his class teacher or tutor will pay close attention throughout his time at Aldwickbury. A move to Aldwickbury at this stage can be good preparation for entry into senior independent schools and a good way to expand your son's wider interests.

Years 7 & 8

Years 7 and 8 are often said to be the most special years in prep school life. Not moving onto senior school until Year 9 gives your son the chance to grow up emotionally and educationally prepared for all that the next stage of education brings. There is so much more value to be had being the eldest in the school developing real leadership skills and learning to take responsibility within a community as well as for himself. With our small classes Aldwickbury can prepare your sons to be the best they can be in order to gain entry into their senior school.
