Nursery & Reception at Rose Hill School

Rose Hill School is a modern school, rich in tradition. On our 15-acre woodland and grass site, just 5 minutes’ drive from Royal Tunbridge Wells, we provide an exceptionally well-rounded education for boys and girls aged 3 – 13 years.

Our Nursery and Reception classes of just 15 on average, ensure that our specialist teachers can bring the best out of the children at this foundational time during their learning journey.  We typically have 2 Reception classes, allowing the children to benefit from smaller groups for the beginning of their academic learning (phonics, numeracy), and the bigger year group which is beneficial for social development and interaction at this formative age. Thanks to the consistency of their surroundings, teachers and peers between Nursery and PrePrep, our Nursery children enter their Reception year very much ‘School Ready’, with confidence and competency, rearing to go!

Join us on Friday 11th October for our School Open Morning.

Children from Reception and all the way through the school can chose from over 70 co-curricular clubs and activities, including hockey, cubs, gardening, golf, dance and woodland. From Year 3, children enjoy weekly competitive fixtures, and from Nursery all children enjoy weekly swimming lessons in our brand new indoor swimming pool.

Unlike other schools, our traditional Prep School model means that we educate children not just up to age 11, but up to 13. This provides our pupils with continuity and stability from age 3, through to their pre-adolescent and early adolescent years, giving them the confidence to build their character, critical thinking, and to focus on academics, before moving onto senior school.

Testament to this, is that last year 60% of our Year 8 leavers received scholarships to their chosen senior schools.

We are registered with Kent County Council as a provider of the 15 funded hours per week. Wraparound care is available from 7.30 – 5.15pm, and provision between 8am – 4pm is included in fees. Our on-site parking makes morning school drop-off a breeze!

Words can only convey so much, so we warmly invite you to join us on Friday 11th October for our School Open Day. You’ll be able to tour our school, meet our Headteacher of 7 years, Ms Emma Neville, and meet some of our current pupils. Please click here to complete our Open Day Registration Form.
