Welcome to Kew College Prep
Welcome to Kew College Prep school, a co-educational independent prep school and nursery for children aged 3-11 years. We are located in the heart of Kew, near Richmond in South West London. We believe our prep school and nursery offer children the best possible start in life, fostering skills and attitudes that will stay with them long after they’ve left us. We value each of our wonderful children and are proud to be part of their lives.
Our valued children
Why choose Kew College Prep?
Pastoral Care
Our Pastoral Curriculum underpins everything we do at Kew College Prep school. We work as a team to ensure all children are listened to and feel valued. The strong sense of community at our school is enhanced by our governors and parents, all of whom are fully committed to the school’s ethos and values, and work tirelessly on its behalf.

Over the last 2 weeks, we have welcomed our first Pets As Therapy dogs, Benji and Mary, to Kew College Prep. Years 1 and 2 spent some time reading to and stroking the lovely dogs, who enjoyed their visits very much and were happily wagging their tails! There are a wide range of benefits that come from reading to dogs, including improving literacy skills and wellbeing, developing confidence, interest and enjoyment of reading and boosting self-esteem. We can’t wait for their next visit! 🐶🐾📚
