Reading in the Pre-Prep

Every week, our senior pupils go down to the Pre-Prep to help the younger children with their reading. It’s such a joy to see, and helps both the older and the younger pupils grow in confidence. As Old Perrott Hillian Daisy, who is now Head Girl at Taunton School, told us recently: “Reading to the children in Pre-Prep and helping with playtime was such a formative experience and one which improved my patience and communication skills. Not only that, but it made me realise that the experience of being looked after by your peers is precious. They provided a role model for me and I know now that I tried to emulate some of these figures when I was a senior pupil at Perrott Hill myself.” What lovely words! It’s wonderful to see it in action.
