Pre-Prep

Throughout Pre-Prep, our girls are supported by a team of dedicated professionals who understand that every child is unique. We ensure each girl’s experiences are rich, varied and purposeful, contributing to both her academic progress and personal wellbeing.

While we are proud of our impressive academic record, we know that lasting success is built on broader qualities and values. To thrive, a girl must believe in herself and persevere, even when faced with challenges. We celebrate every success, encourage self-belief and remind each girl that we are proud of who she is — not just what she achieves.

Learning in Pre-Prep extends far beyond the classroom. Our pupils make full use of the school’s exceptional facilities, enjoying opportunities to explore, create and connect their learning with the wider world.

We want every girl to work to the best of her ability and to contribute confidently in lessons. In Pre-Prep, girls discover the world around them, form lasting friendships, build essential skills and develop a lifelong love of learning.

The Pre-Prep day runs from 8.40am to 3.30pm. Information about our wraparound care and holiday club can be found [here].
