Ranked the “best value Prep School in Wales” – The Telegraph, January 2020
As our primary children continue their journey, so they move up to the beautiful Llantarnam Hall, home to our Juniors.
Our renowned small class sizes, a creative curriculum, and widening opportunities beyond the classroom form the basis of our Junior provision at Rougemont ensuring a rounded education for curious young minds with growing independence and individuality.
CURRICULUM
In Rougemont Juniors, the curriculum is broad and varied offering our pupils the best opportunities to gain a wide range of skills. Our sector-leading Creative Curriculum allows us to plan and teach both an ambitious and challenging curriculum that is designed to instil a lifelong love of learning.
From Year 5, pupils follow the Senior timetable model which enables them to experience learning in different parts of the School making transition to Seniors much more seamless.
co-curricular
As pupils move through the Prep School, the Co-Curricular Programme develops with our pupils’ growing minds. Orchestra, music ensembles and choir take centre stage whilst sporting opportunities increase with fixtures a key focus of Junior life, promoting healthy competition and a solid sense of teamwork.
The Co-Curricular Programme in Juniors offers pupils a real breadth of opportunity. Clubs include Mini Maestros Orchestra, Running Club, Multi-sports, ICT Club, Eco Club, Art Club and our most popular club: Junior Choir!
Subject Specialist Teaching
JUNIORS
As pupils move up to Llantarnam Hall to begin their Junior journey, subject specialist teaching becomes more prevalent.
From Year 3, pupils begin to learn French and Spanish with Art, Music and PE continuing to be specialist taught.
As pupils reach Upper Juniors in Year 5, so they enter a more ‘middle school’ environment, moving around the School site a little more as they prepare for those separate subjects in Seniors.
In addition to Art, PE, Music and Languages, pupils in Years 5 and 6 also enjoy specialist teaching in ICT, DT, Geography, History, Religious Studies and Science.
HOUSE
CARADOG, DYFRIG and GWYNOG are the Rougemont Houses.
In Year 3, pupils join the House system promoting a sense of belonging and most of all, FUN! From House Music to the Eisteddfod, Paper Plane Challenge to the Swimming Gala, House events in Juniors are the place to be!
