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

At Calder Lodge, pupils thrive in the calm and nurturing environment. Pupils say that they feel valued and cared for in school. They learn to build very positive relationships because of the help that they receive from highly skilled staff. Pupils learn how to manage their own behaviour and emotions. They understand how their actions can make others feel. This helps them to behave well. Pupils show tolerance and respect for each other. Any bullying is very rare and dealt with swiftly. Staff expect pupils to do well. Parents and carers greatly value the work of the staff. Parents say how much they appreciate the highly positive impact staff have on their children’s learning and behaviour. Pupils feel safe and happy. Their self-esteem grows with every academic success. Pupils enjoy the extensive opportunities to visit, for example, sports venues, safari parks and local places of interest. These, together with other activities, help pupils to build confidence, resilience and teamwork. Pupils take their responsibilities very seriously. This includes as members of the school council, looking after the chickens or keeping local beaches free from litter. Pupils embody the school motto of: ‘building confidence, self-worth, resilience and aspiration’ in all pupils.
