Barkly house kenilworth

Barkly House Kenilworth Pre-Primary School offers a 3-year programme for children from the year that they turn 4 until the year they turn 6. Our mission statement is: “Every child is developed holistically through play to the best of their ability in a structured environment.” This mission statement informs all our interactions, preparations and planning for each individual child every day.

Our philosophy of education is an eclectic approach based on the theories of Piaget and Montessori (Cognitive Theorists), Bruner (Discovery Theorist focusing on the importance of the environment) and Vygotsky (Developmental Psychologist focusing on the importance of a teacher and on interaction for learning and language development).

The school uses the integrated open-plan method. This is based on systems used in England, America and Wales
