Seymour Junior Years (R-6) Girls Only

Entry Requirements

Course Details

The Seymour Junior Years is leading the way in best practice primary education for girls.

As educators, we are faced with the challenge of considering the bigger picture and teaching the types of skills, dispositions and knowledge that will be relevant for our girls in future years.

Most of the primary school reform efforts to date have focused on making the traditional model work better, rather than creating an alternative.

Our revolutionary and innovative Junior Years model has been guided by the latest global research on how to help girls learn best, coupled with an evolved understanding of teaching and learning. The result is a renewed focus on delivering more impactful teaching and a more vibrant curriculum that is better suited to how girls learn at this age.

Our Prep program
Seymour Prep. The best start for your four-year-old daughter

Through a carefully curated combination of hands on, play based learning and short bursts of intentional teaching, our Prep girls adjust to the reality of big school, at a practical and enjoyable pace. Our girls spend this year broadening their minds and building connections to the world around them, all whilst developing the crucial skills needed to arrive in Reception confident and prepared.

Curriculum
Primary school education re-imagined

At Seymour, we believe in the intelligence of every student, ensuring they thrive through the support and differentiation offered within our unique Junior Years small group teaching and learning model.

Research has shown the incredible capacity of brains to grow and change in a really short space of time. At Seymour, we firmly believe that any differences students are born with are transcended by a teachers’ belief in their potential, their exposure to explicit teaching and the laying of strong foundations in English and Mathematics from as early as Reception.

Our students respond to positive messages about their potential and ability, therefore our approach to teaching and learning is underpinned by our belief in the intelligence of each and every one of our learners. No one is born with a “maths brain”, and no one is born without one!

Year 7 re-imagined

Welcoming new and existing students, the entry to our Middle Years is focused on connection and adventure.

Building upon our diverse curriculum, co-curricular and wellbeing programs, our Year 7 offering now, more than ever, holistically supports the needs of adolescent girls and challenges them to take up every opportunity.

Year 7s are welcomed into the Middle Years with an introductory camp that bonds them as a cohort and allows new friendships to blossom. This sense of adventure is instilled from the very beginning, to develop young women who don’t just embrace change, but actively seek it for personal growth.
