Prep School to open its doors for the morning
Published: 26 January, 2012
Science and art displays, cookery and sport demonstrations,
music and drama performances… these are just some of the activities
taking place at the Plymouth College Preparatory School Open
Morning.
The event for the co-ed day school for 2 ½ to 11 year olds is
taking place on Saturday 10th March 10 a.m. to 12
noon. The Headmaster, Chris Gatherer, will be giving a
welcome address at 10.15 a.m. Visitors will then be able to
go on a tour of the school and meet the teachers and
pupils.
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.
A major refurbishment in 2005 means that the Millfields-based
school now 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, which
was opened late last year.
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 Morning 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."
