Prep School to open its doors for the week

Plymouth College Preparatory School is holding an Open Week Monday 1 to Friday 5 June. Visitors can call in any time between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and see the school in action on a normal day. During the visit they will be taken on a tour as well as meet the Headmaster and other teachers.

The Prep is a co-ed day school for rising 3s to 11 year olds. Combining a healthy balance of high-quality academic study and a broad range of fun activities, the school also offers a bus service and free aftercare - nursery vouchers for three and four year olds can be used for children attending the school’s Kindergarten department.

The Millfields-based school boasts specialist rooms for science, ICT, art, music and design technology. It has spacious classrooms, a theatre, purpose-built sports hall and a chapel. The latest addition to facilities is a state-of-the-art Food Technology Centre, designed in collaboration with the Tanner brothers.

Headmaster, Chris Gatherer, said: “Our aim is to provide a safe and happy environment in which our pupils can grow in confidence and reach their full potential whatever their strengths. This is crucial in helping them to prepare for the next steps of their education and beyond.

“We hope that our Open Week will give parents, grandparents and children a glimpse of what life is really like at the Prep School and that they will see first-hand why our pupils have a lot to smile about.”
