Welcome to The Royal Prep School

“a welcoming, happy, homely environment that brings out the best in children”

The formative years are critical in a child’s life; a period of rapid cognitive, emotional, social and physical development. There is no other stage in a child’s life when they will develop so quickly. Therefore, the foundations laid in these years have a marked impact on a child’s academic and personal success in the next stage of their education. The quality of education, pastoral care, extra-curricular opportunities and experiences at school shape a child’s future. So why wait until partway through your child’s education before providing the best?

Small class sizes, specialist teaching, early exposure to foreign languages, forest school, exciting and innovative Future Ready curriculum, 50 extracurricular clubs across the week, personal attention, wrap-around care for busy parents and so much more. Investing in your child’s education is most definitely worth it, from the very beginning!

What People Say About Us…

“The Royal School is like a warm cosy blanket, wrapping its comforting arms around our children and enveloping them in the kind of welcoming, happy, homely environment that brings out the best in them, both academically and in every aspect of their wellbeing.” Reception Parent
As a family, we were searching for a school for our two small girls which provided academic excellence and stretch but within a nurturing environment where the delivery of the curriculum was both creative and thoughtful. Luckily for us, we didn’t have to search very far because, just around the corner, there is The Royal School." Reception & Prep 4 Parent
"We have found The Royal School to be a loving and supportive environment, where children are encouraged to explore and experiment as part of their everyday learning. We have been so impressed by the seamless transition our littlest has made into “big school” Reception Parent
"Children who need to be stretched academically get that stretch and achieve to their full ability, but this is done without fanfare. Within the same classroom, children who need extra support get it, and this is also done without fuss. As a result, children across a wide range of academic abilities coexist happily in the same classroom, each getting what they need and all considering themselves equally valuable as human beings. It is this which, for us, distinguishes The Royal School as being exceptionally special." Prep 4 Parent

Our curriculum is designed to ignite, enthuse and empower pupils to bring the very best out in themselves.

Children are taught in fluid, differentiated groups, depending on the subject and the progress of individuals within the class. Throughout the academic year, a number of educational trips and visiting speakers enrich the curriculum and extend learning.

Future Ready Curriculum

Our Future Ready Programme provides opportunities beyond the traditional curriculum to develop future skills. The programme is tailored to every year group and starts in Reception and covers the following topics:

  • Finance & Entrepreneurship
  • Robotics, Engineering & Technology
  • Social Responsibility
  • Diversity & Inclusivity
  • Public Speaking
  • Adventure, Fitness & Wellness

Subject specialists

Teach Computer Science, Drama, Forest School, French, Music and Sport, providing the children with expert subject knowledge and igniting a passion from a very early age. This is balanced with a close pastoral connection with the Class Teacher who tailors lessons to meet the needs of all individuals in the class.

Enrichment

Beyond the classroom, our most able children benefit from a mastery enrichment programme across academic, sports and creative disciplines. Many of these pupils go on to be awarded scholarships at senior school. All our children take part in enrichment events, such as STEM Day and Arts Week, residential trips, night camps and hearing visiting speakers.

Extra-Curricular Clubs

A wide range of clubs are on offer at lunch times, before and after school. Encouraged to try new experiences without the pressure of a ‘hot-house’ approach; this is often where our children find their lifelong passions. Our thriving music community provides many opportunities for performance, from intimate recitals to large-scale productions in our Senior School theatre.

Community

Happy children make for high achievers and confident learners. Collaboration within our Royal House System embeds team spirit, yielding high self-esteem and a sense of fun. Our children embrace a healthy sense of competition within a culture of kindness.
