A community Prep School

Founded in 1927, our nonselective Prep School provides a small, supportive and vibrant school community for girls and boys from Nursery to Year 6. The minute you walk through the door, the ethos of the school is apparent; it is a friendly and caring environment which is relaxed but purposeful. The relationship between staff and pupils is warm and open and there is a tangible buzz of creativity in the air.

The curriculum is designed to provide pupils with opportunities to create, connect and collaborate both within and beyond the classroom. Children are encouraged to ask questions and think creatively. Technology is used to enhance learning across all subject areas, and sports and arts feature prominently in school life. The school’s Junior House (Years 3-6) is also the springboard for our unique 11+ programme. From Year 5 onwards, each child is provided with a tailored learning plan. The results of entrance exams to secondary schools are excellent with children attaining numerous scholarships.
