Cat Class is designed for 3 and 4 year old girls and is the perfect introduction to ‘Big School’. Run by our Early Years Team, the girls enjoy all the advantages of our school – specialist teachers, a friendly and nurturing environment, and fabulous facilities. The girls are welcomed into our colourful classrooms where they will make new friends, have fun and be busy engaging in hands-on activities that spark their curiosity and love of learning. 

Our Cat Class Programme encompasses the Early Years Foundation Stage and provides exciting early exposure to sessions with our specialist teachers, including ballet, music, sport, computing, and outdoor learning.

Cat Class sessions run on Tuesdays and Fridays from 1.30 to 2.45pm. Girls are welcome to join one or both sessions.

"This really is the perfect introduction to school for little ones. Cat Class has quickly become my daughter’s favourite afternoon of the week. She now cannot wait to go to ‘big school’!”    Mrs M, Cat Class 2023

“Cat Class has been a fantastic introduction to ‘big school’ for G and it has been lovely to see her confidence develop not only in forming new friendships but also with her teachers. The passion and enthusiasm of the teachers alongside the variety of activities offered is fantastic and has certainly provided my daughter with an excellent grounding ahead of starting school.”  Mrs C, Cat Class 2023
