Meet the Headmaster
On my first visit to King’s College Prep, I was struck by the tangible warmth and friendliness of children, staff and parents. The school hums with life and laughter as the children and teachers apply themselves with great energy to create a wonderful environment for learning. Children benefit from a genuinely rounded education where each individual is encouraged to fulfil their own potential, not only academically, but also to take advantage of the plentiful opportunities presented to them.
Pastoral care is of the highest standard and the development of a child’s understanding of kindness, empathy and friendship are balanced against instilling a determination to succeed and perform to one's best.
As well as seeing many prospective parents, we have recently been visited by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. After several days of close scrutiny, by published a glowing report which provide expert, objective and trustworthy evidence of the outstanding achievements of our pupils and staff.
Children are amazing and can do incredible things, and I hope you visit us to see for yourself.

Caring and Nurturing
Pastoral care is a significant part of life at King’s College Prep. We are a school with a strong boarding ethos and recognise that our pupils thrive in the atmosphere of care and support that we provide. Our pupils succeed because they feel happy and at ease in their surroundings, and therefore they achieve more.
Fresh Air and Fun
Day and boarding pupils are wholly integrated through the traditional house systems, and there are several opportunities for pupils who do not normally board to join their peers during special year group boarding nights.
There is also a wide variety of after school and weekend activities on offer to all children. Many chose to socialise with friends beyond the classroom, while learning something new or developing an interest. There is something for everyone, whether they are creative or musical, fascinated by wildlife or mad about maths.
