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

This school follows the Montessori curriculum. Teacher demonstrations are supported by the carefully planned resources in the children’s house. This structured approach encourages children to make a strong early start. Learning continues in the well-equipped outdoor environment. The outdoor areas offer a wealth of opportunities for children to learn more. Leaders have created a caring community. The behaviour and attitudes of pupils in this school are exceptional. The children’s house and elementary classrooms support pupils to develop their sense of self. Pupils feel able to share their thoughts and opinions with confidence. Pupils say they feel safe and they are safe. Parents speak highly of Mill Cottage. They appreciate the personalised care their children receive. They told inspectors that they would recommend this school to others. The welfare of pupils at the school is of paramount importance to all staff. Pupils are kind, thoughtful and respectful members of this school community. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are very well supported in this setting. However, this is not the experience of all pupils. Younger children learn effectively in the children’s house. They achieve high end points. However, in the elementary phase of school, leaders have not ensured that learning in subjects such as mathematics is as well developed. In some subjects, older pupils are not supported well enough to acquire new knowledge and make good progress.
