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

Leaders and staff have created a nurturing environment. They help pupils to learn, play and discover in a safe place. Pupils are kind to each other. They respect the fact that everyone is different, but all can be included somehow. Pupils learn how to look after themselves and be kind and tolerant to others. Every morning, pupils share how they are feeling. Staff can quickly then decide how best to support them. New arrivals to the school settle quickly. Staff assess their needs prior to them starting. They are welcomed with genuine warmth. Staff want pupils to know that they have a voice and that they are cared for. They plan activities that enthuse and motivate pupils. During the inspection, pupils enjoyed visiting the incubator, to watch the newborn chicks. The school is well resourced. A swing room, soft-play area and outside apparatus all add to the physical fun of the day. Leaders and staff want pupils to be prepared for the wider world. Pupils are taught skills that will help them to become more independent. Older pupils apply for roles within the school such as the librarian or shopping coordinator. Younger pupils learn how to take care of themselves. Staff are adept at managing pupils’ behaviour. They are calm and caring. They know pupils well and quickly de-escalate situations using a range of strategies. Any quarrels are dealt with swiftly. High staff ratios mean that pupils can find quiet and solace in a one-to-one situation. Bullying of any kind is not tolerated. Staff quickly intercede should anyone be deliberately unkind.
