Preparatory class (Grade 0)
From age 6 we get children ready for school: speech, attention, memory and fine motor skills, along with letters, numbers and counting. English and speaking lessons start in Grade 0.
Outcome: By the end of the year your child knows letters and sounds, can count to 10, understands simple English phrases and is ready for Grade 1.

How the day works
Short lessons alternate with movement and play. The class teacher meets the children in the morning and records attendance in the Thompson App. Then come breakfast, lessons, time outdoors and afternoon clubs.
What children learn
Speaking and listening, first steps in reading and counting, doing things for themselves, English through everyday situations, and working in a group.
What parents see
Attendance, the timetable and the teacher’s feedback, every day in the Thompson App.
