Where the fire of ambition burns bright |
|
We believe that the earlier the fire of ambition is lit, the brighter it burns. We take pride in children achieving their academic best. Your child will learn in a community where individuality is celebrated and where a spirit of discovery helps them grow into the best version of themselves. Every one of our teachers is passionate about helping each child realise their potential; their energy and devotion fills every room. |
Academic excellence
|
Learning comes alive through a content-rich curriculum that connects across subjects. For example, a Rainforest topic in Year 4 will include studying deforestation and Brazil’s palm oil industry in Geography then creating a news report on the issue in Drama, learning about Henri Rousseau in Art, and exploring climate change in Science before venturing on a field trip to a zoo’s tropical house for a workshop on biodiversity. |
We are a forward thinking and innovative Prep where, in moving with the times, we have specialists in their fields as well as specialist subject teachers, such as our resident marine biologist who teaches through his experiences as an arctic research scientist. |

Adventure & Service
|
All children at Embley are encouraged to be outward looking; understanding that the world does not stop at the end of one’s nose but that it is by enriching the lives of those around them that they will find the greatest happiness. |
Children have opportunities to complete levels on the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme, Royal Yachting Association sailing certifications, as well as horse riding, archery and skiing. |
The Arts
|
Our creative curriculum is an integral part of every child’s learning experience as they develop fundamental skills of expression, confidence, collaboration and self-discipline. Your child will learn about Art from an artist’s perspective in our purpose-built art studio. |
They will be able to immerse themselves in Drama and more experiential learning, with improvisations in class around themed topics and texts which complement our English curriculum, and with opportunities to perform. All Prep children have a dedicated music lesson each week and we showcase our musicians’ work at our termly recitals. |

Sport
|
Trophies come and go but the disposition to compete to be your best is the most lasting trophy because it supports an authentic life. Our children love to be part of a team and represent Embley in a range of sport. |
We instil best sporting practice from the youngest of ages and place a strong emphasis on the broader life skills of humility, teamwork, discipline, pride, accountability and compassion – this is what sets true sports people apart. |
We are Embley
A message the Head of Prep
 |
