New Podcast Episode: Early Years at OPS – Building Confident, Curious Learners

In our latest episode of the OPS podcast, we’re joined by Joe Clothier, Head of Pre-Prep, and Claire Knights, Year 3 teacher, to explore how the Early Years Foundation Stage sets the tone for a lifetime of learning at The Oratory Prep School.

From those very first steps in Nursery to the transition into Year 3, this episode delves into what makes the Early Years at OPS so special. Joe and Claire share their insights into how we nurture every child as an individual, celebrating their strengths, guiding their growth and helping them find confidence in who they are.

You’ll hear about:

  • Our commitment to personalised learning

  • How we support children through transitions

  • The way our school environment sparks curiosity and builds character

  • The importance of strong parent partnerships

  • Why mistakes are welcomed as part of the journey

Whether you’re a current parent, considering OPS for your child or simply curious about what excellent Early Years education looks like, do give it a listen.
