Jane Smalley, founder and principal of Shrewsbury Prepatoria.

As of September, Shrewsbury Prepatoria will be offering provision for pupils in reception and Year 1.

Founded in 2013 by Jane Smalley, the nursery has gone on to win national awards and both its pre-school and infant and toddler centres were recently rated as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. It is now expanding its provision.

The new school, which will be co-located with the existing Prepatoria facilities at Park Plaza, will deliver a curriculum based on the Scandinavian model, Reggio Emilia, and the Welsh Foundation Phase.
