Discovering boundless horizons from Year 5
In the Middle Prep at Bishopsgate, we believe in nurturing young minds to reach their fullest potential. In Year 5, our pupils step into the Middle Prep, or ‘Jubilee Building’; a purpose-built setting that houses the academic departments for our oldest pupils. Pupils are greeted with inspiring subject specialists, each equipped with dedicated classrooms designed to ignite the flames of curiosity and exploration. The Middle Prep phase commences in Year 5 and reaches its culmination at the conclusion of Year 6.
