At Wilmslow Prep, Small Class Sizes are a Big Deal
An integral part of what makes Wilmslow Prep School special are our small class sizes, where each and every student gets the most out of their primary school experience. At WPS, children begin their love of learning through exploration, work and play in a small, kind, friendly, nurturing and well-resourced environment.
There is plenty of choice when it comes to schools in Wilmslow and the surrounding area, but our small class sizes make us unique in what we can offer.
We have listed below the key reasons why small class sizes are so important.
Each pupil gets the attention they deserve.
Smaller classes mean that at WPS we can offer tailored excellence. Our innovative balanced curriculum delivered through inspiring, dedicated and tailored teaching, meets the individual and specific needs of every pupil. Each child is treated as an individual with his/her own targets to achieve, to ensure he/she fulfils his/her own potential, whatever that may be.
Learning is enhanced.
Pupils’ learning is enhanced by the confidence that they develop in small classes, and there is more time for everyone to share their own ideas, express their opinions and ask and answer questions, delving further into a subject, all of which benefits and enriches every pupil’s learning.
Furthermore, teachers can adapt to suit their pupils’ different learning styles and ensure that every child stays engaged and understands what is being taught, again enhancing learning of all pupils. Teachers also have more time to individualise their feedback for each child, ensuring that each pupil understands the material and gets the help needed to reach his or her full potential.
Classes become a community.
With fewer pupils per class, children are able to connect more closely with their fellow peers and become more confident and comfortable when it comes to sharing their thoughts and ideas. These important connections lead to lasting friendships. At Wilmslow Prep School, pupils respect and connect with others who are all different and unique, a skill that is very important in the globalised world we live in today. In addition, all teachers know all children throughout the school well, providing a very cohesive community and learning environment. A successful close partnership between the school and the parent body further enhances the opportunities for our pupils to thrive.
Developing every child’s full potential, achieving academic success, nurturing enquiring minds and producing confident, responsible, interested and enthusiastic young people – all these sit at the heart of everything that we do.
It is what sets us apart and why we have had an excellent reputation in the community for over 100 years.
