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.
Every pupil is welcomed into Sycamore Hall Preparatory School. Pupils say that they feel included from the moment they join the school. Many expressed how they appreciate the calm and purposeful atmosphere in classrooms and around the school building. Pupils behave well. They know that staff have high expectations for their education and want them to achieve well. Parents and carers and pupils all say that they feel part of a family in this small independent school setting. Pupils are taught to behave respectfully. Leaders have very high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils are able to explain why bullying does not happen here. They demonstrate strong friendships both in class and throughout the school day. The school’s ethos is based on development of the individual child with a focus on kindness, good manners and good citizenship. However, leaders show a lack of understanding of their wider safeguarding duties. This contributes, in part, to pupils not being prepared well for wider British values or life outside the school gate. Pupils are not supported to gain an age-appropriate understanding of healthy relationships through the relationships education offered to them. Protected characteristics, as set out in the Equality Act 2010, are not discussed. Leaders have not delivered learning that encourages pupils to respect those with different sexual orientation or gender reassignment. They do not learn about civil partnerships or marriage when this is not between a male and a female. Pupils do not learn how look after their mental health. Some pupils worry about whom they can speak to if they have concerns. Leaders are not teaching pupils enough about how to stay safe. They do not keep records of low-level concerns around pupils’ well-being. Not all staff have received the safeguarding training that they require. Pupils are potentially at risk because leaders are not carrying out their safeguarding duties robustly.

“Best choice”
01 July 2022AUTHOR: EJB
It was the best choice I ever made to send my child to Sycamore Hall. Small classes, individual education programs to meet the needs of the children. My son has made amazing progress academically, socially and emotionally, and is a wonderfully rounded young man.
The teachers are truly wonderful, professional, knowledgeable and caring, always going over, above and beyond to support the children and their families.
If you are looking for a fantastic all round prep school, Sycamore Hall is certainly my first choice and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

2015 GCSE RESULTSImportant information for parents
Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
Schools can upload their full GCSE results by registering for a School Noticeboard. All school results data will be verified.
