Open Mornings
Open Mornings offer the ideal occasion for you to view the school and talk to our pupils and academic staff. You can also find out about the subjects on offer, as well as the many extra-curricular activities and opportunities available to students at Bromsgrove Pre-Preparatory and Nursery School.

Aftercare is available for children in 2+ age group between 3.15pm and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday.

Children aged 3+ are required to attend a minimum of five sessions. Five mornings is recommmended with all children attending Monday and Wednesday morning to ensure children have access to the full range of the curriculum provided. However, sessions can be taken in any combination of full / half days regularly each week, if places are available.

Transfer to Pre-Preparatory School
Almost all Nursery pupils continue through to the Pre-Preparatory School. Confirmation of places is made after discussions between the Head of Nursery and the Headmistress, taking issues of behaviour into consideration if necessary. The Head of Nursery can advise on the transfer procedure.

Pre-Preparatory School
Children join the Reception class of the Pre-Preparatory section in the September following their fourth birthday. Pupils may join the School in other year groups, subject to availability of space in each year group. Parents are encouraged to visit with their child before registering for a place. Prior to a place being offered, your child will be invited to spend a morning of informal assessment at the Pre--Preparatory & Nursery School and, where appropriate, a written report from the child's current school or nursery will be requested.

Transfer to Preparatory School
It is expected that children will transfer to Bromsgrove Preparatory School but this is dependent on achieving a certain standard of work in Literacy and Numeracy. Issues of behaviour are also considered, where appropriate, during consultation between the Headmistress of the Pre-Preparatory & Nursery School and Headmaster of the Preparatory School, prior to transfer.
