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 have the highest of expectations for pupils at this school. There is no limit to what pupils can achieve. They are immersed in a culture of excellence where they flourish and thrive. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) catch up with their learning, often after periods of considerable absence from school. They make remarkable and often life-changing personal and academic progress. Pupils are happy. They told inspectors how teachers make learning fun. Staff teach topics that bring learning to life. Pupils use technology with confidence and are proud to show their work and discuss their learning and achievements. Pupils enjoy playing outside with their friends. They take part in sports clubs and learn to ride bikes. Outside areas are filled with play equipment that pupils use. They enjoy taking part in many team games. Pupils love their school. They have very positive attitudes to their learning. The staff know every pupil extremely well. They support them to manage their emotions and behaviour. This helps pupils to feel safe. Sometimes, pupils fall out with one another, but staff help them to understand each other and to say sorry. Leaders deal very well with the very rare instances of bullying.
