At BPS, we set high ambitions and expectations for our Prep pupils. We encourage them to work hard, stay committed and conduct themselves with kindness and respect towards others. Within our inclusive and nurturing environment, every girl is empowered to excel — academically, socially and personally.
The Prep years are overseen by a dedicated Form Teacher, ensuring that each pupil continues to benefit from strong pastoral care and support. Lessons are taught by specialist, passionate teachers who help prepare the girls for the academic rigours and opportunities of senior school.
Our education is broad, creative and stimulating. Classrooms are places of discovery, curiosity and celebration, where girls are encouraged to think critically and develop a genuine love of learning. Facilities include well-equipped science labs, a spacious art room, ICT suite, music lab, STEM room and a large sports hall with an adjoining dance and drama studio.
We prepare our pupils — and their parents — for 11+ entrance examinations for local grammar schools, as well as for assessments at a wide range of independent senior schools. When the girls leave at the end of Year 6, they do so as ambitious, confident and well-rounded young people, ready to embrace the challenges and experiences that lie ahead.
The Prep day runs from 8.40am to 3.45pm. Information about our after school clubs can be found here and wraparound care can be found here.
