The Junior School

At Somerset College, our Junior School is more than just a place of learning—it’s a vibrant, nurturing environment where curiosity is sparked, talents are cultivated, and young minds are empowered to thrive. Catering to students from Pre-Prep to Year 6, we are dedicated to shaping confident, capable, and compassionate global citizens.

Inspiring Young Learners to Aim Higher

We believe education should be engaging, challenging, and meaningful. Our students are encouraged to think critically, embrace creativity, and take ownership of their learning. Through evidence-based programmes that reflect the current best practices in education, we inspire children to reach their full potential academically and in their personal growth and co-curricular pursuits.

Somerset College fosters a culture of excellence where students develop essential leadership, collaboration, and resilience skills. Whether excelling in the classroom, on the sporting field, or through artistic expression, each child is supported to aspire, achieve, and make a difference.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

The world is our classroom, and we empower students to make meaningful connections between their learning and real-world issues. As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, we integrate the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), equipping students with a global perspective and a passion for lifelong learning.

Through hands-on, inquiry-driven experiences, we nurture qualities such as:

• Resilience – Encouraging perseverance and adaptability
• Creativity – Inspiring innovation and problem-solving
• Sustainability – Instilling a sense of responsibility for the world
• Wellbeing – Promoting positive relationships and self-awareness 

A Community That Cares

At Somerset, we recognise that student wellbeing is the foundation for success. Our dedicated teachers, pastoral care initiatives, and strong family partnerships create a supportive environment where students feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow. In addition, we aim to foster a love of life-long learning. These qualities are also reflected in the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile, which is embedded in the College’s curriculum.

We invite you to explore the opportunities that await your child at Somerset College Junior School—where passion meets purpose and young learners are equipped to lead with confidence in an ever-evolving world.
