A warm welcome

Sydenham High Prep is a happy and busy school where no two days are ever the same. The aim of our Prep School is to develop enquiring minds and a lifelong love of learning in our girls. Through enthusiastic, inspiring specialist teaching and a broad and balanced curriculum, our girls are well prepared not merely for the demands of Senior School and the 11+ process, but also for a rich and fulfilling future. We have high expectations of the girls in our school and aim to ensure that every girl achieves her full potential.

Ms Antonia Geldeard Head

It has never been a better time to be a girl. That’s why our Prep School is so committed to delivering first-class experiences for every pupil which instil a belief that our girls can reach for the stars. Our Prep School mascot is Fina, the giraffe. Fina perfectly encapsulates the ‘Sydenham spirit’ and, as such, each pupil is invited to become a ‘Giraffe Girl’. Together, we stand tall, stick our necks out and always try new things.
