Your child’s entitlement to the National Curriculum is only part of what we aim to achieve at Aldenham. We believe very strongly in offering breadth within our curriculum, so that the all round talents of each individual child may be developed. This involves promoting the academic, creative and sporting facets of school life, as well as fostering children’s natural curiosity, in order to empower them with a life long love of learning.

 

The timetable consists of English, Maths and Science, as well as I.C.T., Art, D.T., French, Geography, History and Personal Social & Health Education. There is also specialist teaching in Drama, French, P.E. & Games and swimming. In the Prep Department the curriculum is further developed with courses in Study Skills. Parents are kept well informed of their children’s learning through lists of curriculum topics and curriculum evenings at the start of each year.

 

Aldenham School has a strong tradition of Sport.  Games and Physical Education are a very important part of life at the Preparatory School.  Each class has one PE lesson per week with a specialist teacher as well as a Games afternoon and a weekly swimming lesson at the Grove Leisure Centre in Bushey.  Major sports are Football, Netball, Hockey, Cricket and Athletics.  The children also have the opportunity to be coached in Rugby, Basketball, Tennis, Badminton and Rounders. We regularly arrange Sports fixtures with other schools.
