Activities
The Prep School has become part of our son's extended family which is enabling him to flourish in a happy and constructive environment.

"The excellent curriculum is broad and balanced for all pupils and it is complemented by a wide range of highly effective extra-curricular and enrichment activities."
(Independent Schools Inspectorate 2011)
A wide range of extra curricular activities is offered. Running at lunchtimes and after school in an informal environment, these clubs are voluntary but very popular giving a balanced, all round education, allowing the children to develop their potential, confidence and self esteem.
