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

Pupils and staff describe the school as being like a family. Pupils are warmly welcomed by staff as they arrive each morning. This helps pupils to feel safe and happy in school. Pupils know that teachers will listen to any concerns that they have. They are confident that staff would be quick to address any incidents of bullying. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to thrive. They have planned a broad and engaging curriculum that helps pupils to achieve well. Pupils value the exciting and challenging lessons that they have in the school’s lovely outdoor areas. Engaging activities, such as building fires and gardening, help pupils to develop confidence and resilience. Pupils benefit from a wide range of leadership opportunities. For example, pupils planned a garden party for residents of a local care home. They enjoy taking care of the school’s dogs, Coco and Dave. Such opportunities help pupils to become thoughtful, active citizens, well prepared for their next steps. Pupils’ behaviour in class and around school improves significantly within a short time of joining the school. They benefit from the skilful support that leaders provide. This helps pupils to manage their own behaviour successfully.

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.
