Vita Et Pax School

Welcome to Vita et Pax Preparatory School

“a caring community which strives to enable each child to realise their full potential”

Welcome to Vita et Pax Preparatory school, where education is based on nurturing excellence. The school has a long tradition of excellence in shaping attitudes for learning and an environment for achievement. Our students give of their best while their peers and teachers providing a supportively competitive environment. High academic achievement is not the result of intense pressure but through creating the environment where continual practice focused on improvement drives achievement.

The curriculum we offer is as broad as it is deep. Our students are taught to seek and critique information, they are not spoon fed it. Teaching feeds upon shared experiences to build pathways of understanding our world. Our curriculum interlinks so the core strengths of English and Maths extend throughout all subject areas. Taking calculated risk and making mistakes are as important a part of learning as is the ability to present confidently in front of an audience. Fostering parent partnership is core to our operation. When families enter our school, they become a part of the community. We communicate openly. We think and act in the shared interest of developing successful global citizens.

A key part of our culture is shared responsibility. We open the hearts and minds of our students to the realities of our world from homelessness to disaster relief, our students understand their place in a global society. Our students bring their authentic selves to school each day. Their diversity in thought, belief, identity and culture are celebrated as a normative part of our school. Development is personal and our students flourish in the attention our small school provides.

Testimonials

"Amazing school overall. They focus totally on your child and tailor to their needs. My son is very, very happy there and every student is well balance and encouraged to grow in confidence. My son has developed greatly since his first day." Year 3 Parent

"Our children flourished in this nurturing environment. The teaching staff have been great at encouraging our children and growing their confidence. It's definitely a well-hidden treasure! My children have made strong friendships at the school, which started in the nursery." Year 3 and 5 parent

"You and the teachers have been so wonderful during this time, the girls have been really supported. The fact that the school has kept its amazing caring community during this last week is great. We also have a huge respect for the work you do. Our daughter got really upset the other day saying she didn’t understand why her life had changed and she calmed down when she watched Miss Hibberd’s video." Year 2 & 5 Family

"Thank you Miss Gay for getting the school quickly organised with remote learning and having pupils’ learning continue and keeping parents informed and involved. Please thank all of your staff for their hard work." Year 6 Leaver Family

"Mrs Newton has posted some short phonics videos to use tomorrow which look great. Our daughter is much more interested in listening to her than me :-) The nursery provision in particular has been excellent, I assumed EYFS would be tricky from a distance but Mrs Newton is providing lots of direction and good ideas for what to do" Nursery Family

"Many thanks to all of the Teachers for their support this week, it has been quite new, with a few minor bumps! Wishing you all a restful weekend!" Year 1 Family

Reception

We believe that all pupils can be successful in an environment which is caring, optimistic and encouraging. Vita et Pax Preparatory School is a happy school which provides an atmosphere which supports pupils and enables their success, their development of character and well-being. Our pupils know that they are valued as individuals with unique needs, strengths and potential.

Juniors

Moving into Key Stage 2, the children continue to be challenged by an exciting curriculum and are taught to become increasingly self-motivated learners. The children are encouraged to persevere, and two and three step word problems feature in Maths to challenge depth and mastery. Trips are customised around the curriculum to support and challenge learning and residential trips are planned further afield to enable children to take part in team activities and challenge them to take risks at participating in new activities.
