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’ expectations of pupils’ learning are too low. They do not ensure that pupils build up knowledge and skills in all subjects. Pupils in Year 6 have a narrow curriculum. They spend much of their lesson time preparing for tests in English and mathematics. The teaching of reading is inconsistent. The premises are not fit for purpose. They are cramped. Pupils have to sit on the floor all day because there is not enough room for chairs and desks. Leaders said it is difficult for staff to maintain pleasant classrooms that encourage learning because the premises are shared. Pupils generally behave sensibly, work hard and have positive attitudes. They attend well. Staff deal with any incidents of bullying appropriately. However, staff’s management of behaviour is inconsistent. Disruption sometimes affects pupils’ learning. Pupils enjoy earning rewards, the occasional educational outing and their Islamic studies programme. However, leaders do not ensure that pupils have a wide range of opportunities and extra-curricular experiences. Most pupils feel safe at school. However, leaders are failing to follow safer recruitment guidance. This may be putting pupils at risk.
