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.
The proprietors have established a school in which staff have high expectations for pupils and deliver an imaginative and unique curriculum. Leaders and staff at all levels care deeply about the school and its pupils. They nurture pupils’ academic learning and individuality so that they achieve well. Pupils are taught how to observe, enjoy and appreciate the natural world through learning in the open spaces and woodland areas of the surrounding park. Pupils develop independence and teamwork. They grow into confident young people who are well prepared for secondary school. Pupils are safe and feel safe. They behave well and enjoy learning together. They play their part in making a kind and friendly school community. New pupils feel welcomed and make friends easily. There is almost no bullying but pupils said that if it does happen, adults deal with it well and quickly. There is a strong culture of respect and tolerance for others.

“Secure academic journey with LOVE”
29 January 2021AUTHOR: CH
Both my children have been at TLAS from their very early years - they are now aged 5 and 7. As a gay family we really value the inclusive, progressive, welcoming atmosphere. The school is founded on LOVE :-) As educators ourselves we also highly value the Steiner based but innovative and progressive pedagogic model. It is evidenced based and proving to be very effective at delivering really high, unhurried, academic achievements for both our girls - No hot housing for our children thank you! just wholistic, child centred, loving, personalised and very secure learning journeys! A gem of a school that our family would highly recommend.
“A school I'm sure my kids will look fondly back on”
28 January 2021AUTHOR: MTC
The school delivers on its promise to provide a purposeful, meaningful education that will nourish the children's creativity and install a lifelong love of learning.
Key to this is that the school is a stimulating yet emotionally supportive space and offers a fantastic range of learning both indoors and in nature.
In addition to the usual academic subjects (maths, english, music, language etc.) they do fantastic activities like woodland crafts, handwork (textiles) and woodwork which the kids love
“Great small friendly school”
07 March 2016AUTHOR: A Parent
Brilliant – a lovely, small and friendly school. The teaching is great and my children are very happy. They have made great progress at their work too. It sounds alternative as the children only start lessons aged 6.5 and are playing in Kindergarten before this. Actually this isn't so unusual in other countries and the curriculum is carefully planned so pupils are at a similar level to state school peers by the age of 11. It works well – the evidence is how well my children are doing and OFSTED were very impressed too. There is a long established sister school in Gloucestershire. The children are so happy and spend time outside playing every day, doing brilliant art and music lessons and sports like sailing. Why isn't every school like this one?
“Wonderful school”
07 March 2016AUTHOR: A Parent
Wonderful school. I have 2 children there. It is so friendly and the children want to go every day. They are making really good academic progress. The music, art and nature studies are great here too. There is nothing we don't like.

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.
