Join our Year 3 Discovery Day for all current Year 2 pupils
Join our Discovery Day on Monday 2nd November, where current Year 2 pupils can spend a day in the life of a Year 3 pupil at Ardingly Prep. It will include sport, art & design, robotics and science, drama and design technology.
If you are thinking about your child joining us in September 2027, this will allow them to see what makes Year 3 so exciting at Ardingly Prep.
Children in Year 3 join our Farmhouse Prep school which is an inspiring, nurturing child-centred place – recently described by one reviewer as a “magical, self-contained space devoted to childhood” – but with all the outstanding facilities that come with being part of the adjoining Ardingly College campus. This enables us to provide an outstanding co-curricular offer and flexible wrap-around care for working parents from 7.15am until 6.30pm.
Almost every pupil from our Prep School will seamlessly transition into Ardingly College’s senior school at Year 7. This gives our families peace of mind and allows our pupils to avoid the stress of the 11+ process. It also enables a broad, enriching curriculum in Years 5 and 6, without the need to ‘teach to the test’, as at most other schools.
Instead, we can focus on ensuring that Ardingly Prep pupils receive the best possible education and preparation to thrive – both academically and personally – in their senior school and beyond.
