In Year Two, your child will have the opportunity to go on their first residential school trip. This is a very exciting time for them, where they will develop independence, improve confidence, embed relationships and make lifelong memories.
Children are also introduced to our Digital Learning Programme (DLP) during Pre-Prep School, where they will be provided with class iPads to develop their literacy and numeracy skills. The DLP is taught alongside traditional educational practices and is part of our blended learning philosophy in all three RGS Schools.
During these important years at Pre-Prep School, pupils will become familiar with Prep School departments, facilities and teachers. This smooth transition helps to prepare children for their next years at RGS Springfield.
