Belhaven Hill School in East Lothian has announced that it is launching a new pre-prep school in April 2022, its 99th year, so that younger children can also benefit from its inspiring, all-round education.
Founded in 1923, Belhaven Hill School is one of Scotland?s leading co-ed day and boarding prep schools. Its 20 acres of parkland campus is idyllic, overlooking the wide sandy beach of Belhaven Bay in Dunbar. The existing prep school has had a small class of 6 and 7 year olds for several years which has proved popular; the ambitious plans will see the school open its doors fully to 5-to-7 year olds in April 2022, creating a new pre-prep of three distinct year groups with space for 30 new children.
?Parents have been asking for continuous, holistic educational options from age 5 right through to the start of senior school at age 13, so we decided to develop a Belhaven Pre-Prep for 5-to-7 year olds,? says Headmaster, Mr Olly Langton. ?We aim to give families choice throughout their association with the school ? children start off as day pupils in our Pre-Prep and in the younger years of the Prep school and can choose to be boarders if they want to, as they move up the school.
