Message from the Head of Preparatory
Dear Parents and Guardians,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Preparatory Class at Lilyvale School—where strong foundations are laid for lifelong learning and character development.
The preparatory stage is a critical point in every child’s journey. It is where curiosity is nurtured, foundational skills are formed, and values begin to take root. At Lilyvale, we take this responsibility seriously, providing a caring, structured, and stimulating environment where every child feels safe, seen, and celebrated.
Our approach combines academics with creativity, Christian values, and guided independence. Through engaging activities in early literacy, numeracy, play, music, and art, we help our pupils grow in confidence, develop essential skills, and cultivate a genuine love for learning.
What makes our Preparatory class special is not only the content we teach, but how we teach it—with patience, passion, and purpose. Our trained and compassionate educators work closely with families to ensure each child’s unique needs are met and their potential fully developed.
Thank you for considering our Preparatory class as the next step in your child’s development. We look forward to partnering with you to build a joyful and impactful beginning to their educational journey.
Warm regards,
