Building confidence through exploration and discovery
At Lorna Whiston we offer a stimulating, positive and nurturing learning environment which we know is the key to creating happy, motivated children who are eager to learn. By providing an interactive learning environment, children develop the confidence to explore and discover, question and create. This positive hands-on approach to learning is crucial in the formative years, when children's first experiences at school can shape their whole future attitude towards learning.

Our approach to teaching is first and foremost through exploration and discovery. Our children engage in active learning experiences that ensure they truly understand the skills and concepts being taught. Our integrated curriculum is exciting and challenging and has been carefully planned and structured. All subjects are thematically integrated, allowing our young learners to understand the connections between individual subjects and make links with the world around them.
Bilingual Immersion Programme
At Lorna Whiston Preschools our interactive bilingual immersion programme ensures children develop excellent communication skills in both English and Mandarin. An English language teacher and a Mandarin language teacher lead every class throughout the day guiding the children so that they are immersed in the two languages naturally.

All subjects are integrated by focussing on a special topic each week allowing children to understand the connections between individual subjects and how the topic relates to the wider world. Teachers continually monitor every childs progress with parent teacher conferences and formal reports, each occurring twice a year.
Individualised Reading Programme
Lorna Whistons Individualised Reading Programme has been developed over the past 25 years ensuring children are well prepared to excel in all subject areas on entering primary school. Children are encouraged and supported by teachers with ongoing reading assessments to ensure every child progresses at the right pace and develops a lifelong love of reading.
Afternoon Enrichment Masterclasses
Perfect for working families to extend the school day. Full day students benefit from specially designed afternoon enrichment masterclasses to develop a wealth of skills in different learning areas. Classes are varied daily including two masterclasses a week conducted by our enrichment teaching specialists from Lorna Whiston English Enrichment and Speech & Drama Schools.
