“A great, all round experience”

"> Our daughter joined Prior Park Prep school in year three from the state sector and it made a world of difference to her. In year 9 she continued to the College as a weekly boarder and we have been delighted with the development, opportunities and education she has received. The fees and all the associated costs are a big struggle for us, and it is apparent that we are simply 'not in the same league' as her friends but she has never been made to feel inferior about this by any of them. The academics are a very important aspect for us as she is highly gifted, but far more important is the culture of success being admired rather than mocked. The breadth of activities and opportunities also means there are chances for her to try things where they don't come naturally and she is not the best and to learn to persevere and deal with failure too. Staff are available and informal in guiding parents and the boarders are very supportive of each other. The location is beautiful. Some aspects of the school fabric is rather worn but feels homely. Overall we consider the financial strain very very worthwhile.
