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.

“Secure academic journey with LOVE”


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”


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”


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”


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.
