About our Reception and Pre-Prep
We teach different topics every term, and plenty of opportunity for learning outside the classroom making use of our seven acres of beautiful grounds, including Forest School. Our two Reception classrooms are bright and spacious with an attractive outside play area especially for our Early Years children; play and exploration are encouraged as much as creativity and learning skills.

“As a working parent, care for my children outside school hours is a must. With Duncombe offering flexible wrap around care, in both term time and holiday time, with members of staff that my children are familiar with, is a weight off my mind. The extensive range of activities available for them to choose from is fantastic, which means they can do something different every term, should they wish.”
