Here at Maldon Court Preparatory School we strive to motivate and challenge our pupils in all areas of the broad based curriculum - both in the classroom and in the wider locality.
We aim to provide a wide and stimulating curriculum through which all of our pupils will become enthusiastic and independent learners, preparing them for senior schooling. Subjects are class taught to a single year group of a maximum of 20 pupils. This enables teachers to provide individual attention to pupils of all abilities. Core subjects are enriched by additional subjects such as PE, languages, art, music and drama. We also make the most of the rich learning resources that Maldon and its surrounding area has to offer. Pupils from nursery to Form 6 have specialist teaching in Music and Physical Education, and pupils in Forms 5 and 6 have specialist teaching in English and Mathematics.
