PREP

Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.

Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.

School Description

This is a small school and staff are friendly and approachable. Pupils feel safe at this school and bullying is very rare. Pupils attend well and settle confidently into lessons at the start of each day. Pupils are respectful and do not disrupt the learning of others. The school’s mission is to help pupils towards a successful future. Pupils may come to Best Futures after struggling to cope in their previous school. Staff understand the needs of their pupils well. They plan activities that develop pupils’ confidence and social skills. For example, pupils might have drumming lessons at a local community centre or visit a local farm park. School leaders have designed a curriculum that is ambitious. However, staff struggle to cover some subjects in sufficient detail. This happens when staff have less time to give to a particular subject or when they lack subject expertise. Staff deliver English and mathematics well but are less confident in subjects such as history and science. School leaders recognise the importance of reading and make sure every pupil has a daily phonics lesson. Staff use books and resources from a mix of different reading schemes. This can be confusing for pupils.

Best Futures Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK.
