Pre-Prep Co-curricular
We believe that children learn best when they are happy and feel settled. With the right levels of support and encouragement we endeavour to foster a love of learning in each child, right from the start.

French
Bonjour! Et bienvenue au département de langues étrangères de St Neot’s!
There are so many reasons to study modern foreign languages. Easier travel and technological advances present our pupils with exciting opportunities to experience different languages and cultures. In the current global village in which we live, learning new languages for both communication and academic purposes is a dynamic and very sought-after skill. Language qualifications sit nicely alongside most subjects. making people more flexible and able to understand other cultures. From Reception, all children are taught French by a specialist teacher once a week, progressing to three lessons in Year 8. In the earlier stages, the language is taught through song and games. As the children move up the school they progress from learning words to learning simple sentences.

PSHE & REe
R.E.
Religious and moral education includes learning about Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and other major world religions. It enhances children’s awareness and understanding of religions and beliefs, as well as of the influence of religion on individuals and communities. It enables pupils to develop respect for and sensitivity to others, in particular those whose faiths and beliefs are different from their own. It promotes discernment and enables pupils to combat prejudice.
P.S.H.E.
Personal, Social and Health Education (P.S.H.E.) and the school’s ethos of good citizenship helps children to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy and independent lives and to become informed, active and responsible citizens. With everyone caring, sharing and giving fun and friendship to his or her peers, citizenship exists in every nook and cranny of the school.
