Moulsford is a thriving independent<br />
day <strong>and</strong> boarding Prep School for boys<br />
aged 4-13 years set on the banks of the<br />
River Thames in South Oxfordshire...<br />
Moulsford offers boys superb opportunities for learning whilst<br />
having fun, with a restructured curriculum designed not only to<br />
prepare boys for senior schools, but also to ensure they have<br />
the skills for life beyond. The curriculum promotes intellectual<br />
agility, encourages them to think <strong>and</strong> analyse critically, makes<br />
connections across the subjects <strong>and</strong> gives plenty of opportunity<br />
for creativity <strong>and</strong> collaboration. The boys are encouraged to<br />
build resilience by having a go, taking a well-thought-out risk,<br />
<strong>and</strong>, on occasion, failing. Moulsford boys learn much more than<br />
simply how to score highly in summative tests, <strong>and</strong> regurgitate<br />
learned facts.<br />
Through Moulsford’s Activities programme, the school aims<br />
to offer opportunities to develop new skills <strong>and</strong> talents, whilst<br />
becoming a conscientious citizen. Working towards the<br />
Moulsford Award, boys can try magic tricks, bike maintenance,<br />
cookery, bushcraft, photography, climbing, drama, sailing,<br />
chess, pantomime, parkour, st<strong>and</strong>-up comedy, geocaching<br />
<strong>and</strong> many more activities covering the five key elements of<br />
performance <strong>and</strong> arts, community, self-development, adventure<br />
<strong>and</strong> healthy living.<br />
Moulsford’s reputation for sport remains extremely strong with<br />
all boys in teams A to F regularly playing competitive matches.<br />
ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
Major sports are football, rugby, hockey, cricket <strong>and</strong> athletics.<br />
Minor sports have also seen significant successes in golf, skiing,<br />
fencing <strong>and</strong> judo. Music <strong>and</strong> drama remain popular with roughly<br />
three quarters of the boys from Years 3-8 playing an instrument.<br />
Boys progress to the UK’s leading independent day <strong>and</strong><br />
boarding schools at 13+ including Abingdon, Eton, Harrow,<br />
Magdalen College School, Marlborough, Radley, St Edward’s<br />
Oxford, <strong>and</strong> Wellington.<br />
The riverside setting provides a different dimension to prep<br />
school life with kayaks, canoes, st<strong>and</strong> up paddleboards <strong>and</strong><br />
sailing dinghies all put to use. At Forest School there are<br />
opportunities for fire building, whittling <strong>and</strong> making bows <strong>and</strong><br />
arrows.<br />
At Moulsford there’s something for everyone with the aim of<br />
finding that elusive activity that ignites a spark in every child<br />
beyond the classroom.<br />
