"It’s about each child fulfilling their potential and that starts from day dot.”

Lower Prep

Lower Prep is a moment of huge growth and development for your child. It’s a time where deep friendships are forged, where children start to carve their place in life and where they begin to question the world around them. At Framlingham College, we know that these years are a momentous part of each child’s story and we’re here to provide support, guidance and encouragement so that everyone has their moment in the sun.

From the nurturing environment at the end of their Pre-Prep journey to the increasing maturity of the Upper Prep years, our ambition is to support your child during this significant time and instil in them qualities of independence and self-organisation; whilst stretching them academically and readying them to thrive in the real world. Above all, we allow them to revel in and delight in these most treasured years of childhood.
