Growing Great Minds
We are dedicated to nurturing curious, creative, happy, and healthy individuals through a holistic approach to education.
The curriculum at Ken Prep is meticulously crafted to embody the ‘Growing Great Minds’ vision. Our curriculum is designed to achieve academic excellence while providing outstanding pastoral care to all our pupils. It is tailored to meet the specific needs of our girls, offering numerous opportunities for exploratory teaching and learning methods, as well as varied enrichment opportunities.
Rooted in the core values of kindness, honesty, integrity, and respect, our curriculum aims at fostering effective learning characteristics in our pupils. It is broad and balanced, yet delves deep to develop critical thinkers and problem solvers. Our overarching goal is to cultivate well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills and knowledge to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
Happy minds
At Kensington Prep, we are committed to developing happy minds through a curriculum that nurtures not only academic excellence but also key personal characteristics. Our pupils are loving their lessons and are actively contributing to a positive and supportive learning environment where helping their friends is a core value.
The curriculum we have carefully crafted focuses on fostering empathy, respect, and pride in our pupils. These core characteristics are woven into every subject taught, ensuring that our pupils excel academically and also grow into well-rounded individuals who can make a positive impact in the world around them.
In addition to embedding these values within the curriculum subjects, we reinforce them through school assemblies, enriching co-curricular activities, and dedicated pastoral care. This holistic approach ensures that our girls are consistently supported and encouraged to develop into empathetic, respectful, and proud individuals; with the skills and values they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
Healthy minds
Our curriculum is centred around the belief that every child has the potential to thrive and succeed. We are committed to nurturing and growing healthy minds, where pupils are empowered to approach challenges, thinking can, not can’t. We understand that learning is a journey of exploration, getting things wrong (and learning from our mistakes), is just as important as getting things right.
Our curriculum is designed to instill core characteristics in our pupils, ensuring they emerge as reflective, motivated, and resilient individuals. With these qualities we see learners who know where they have come from and where they need to go next, who want to learn and who keep on trying even when things are hard.
Curious minds
Growing curious minds is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to find the fascinating in the ordinary, to challenge the status quo and confound the norm, and to push boundaries in pursuit of excellence, encouraging our pupils to go all out.
Our curriculum is carefully considered; through a rich tapestry of subjects, not only traditional academics but also holistic development, we aim to instill the following three core characteristics:
- Flexible – being open to ideas
- Questioning – asking questions to find out more
- Discerning – making thoughtful and well thought-out choices.
Creative minds
We are dedicated to growing creative minds. Through our carefully designed curriculum, we aim to unlock the potential of our girls by helping them discover their superpowers and fire up their brains.
Our curriculum is strategically planned to develop the essential characteristics of being passionate, imaginative, and brave. By instilling these qualities in our pupils, we are preparing them to find what they love, think in different ways and try new things even when they feel unsure, leading them to navigate an ever-changing world with confidence and tenacity.
