Preparatory School
Staff
“Staff model good behaviour and constantly encourage children to behave well and have good manners.”
In the preparatory school at Hilden Oaks, the staff body consists of both class teachers and subject specialists, as well as classroom assistants, GAP students, and a team of behind-the-scenes support staff.
Staff from both the nursery and preparatory school are on hand from 7.45am until 6.30pm to ensure that children are looked after throughout the working day.
