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.

Gracefield Preparatory School Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“Bring the best out of every child”


My two children are thriving at Gracefield. Small class sizes allow for their educational and pastoral needs to be catered for. The school has a caring and nurturing ethos whilst also ensuring that each child reaches their potential. The school grounds are small but they make use of local facilities to ensure that the children are able to benefit from a full and varied educational programme.
“Wonderful primary school”


I am a parent of two children currently at this school. My children are incredibly happy here, it feels like their home from home. The class sizes are small which means they have a lot of support and wonderful peer relationships. The school also focuses on building their independence and confidence with many different opportunities to express themselves and show off their achievements and talents.
