Why Kew College Prep?

Selecting a prep school or nursery is a significant decision, and at Kew College Prep, we pride ourselves on valuing each child as an individual. We nurture their unique talents in a warm and supportive environment, ensuring children thrive both academically and personally.

Outstanding Academic Results

Small class sizes and highly qualified teachers help children excel in core subjects and specialist areas including Art, Sport, IT, French, Music and Dance. Our rigorous yet well-rounded curriculum nurtures each child’s potential with tailored support and challenge for all. Nursery and Reception provide a strong foundation in phonics, reading, and numbers, with play-based learning and regular Forest School sessions. Infant House transitions to a more formal learning approach, fostering rapid academic progress and a growth in independence. Junior House prepares children steadily for the 11+ and they are encouraged to ask questions, take risks in their learning and think creatively.

Entry to Top Senior Schools

Our unique 11+ programme, including specialist maths, English and reasoning courses taught by subject experts and dedicated Teaching Assistants, starts in Year 5. Our experienced teaching team guide children through 11+ exam preparation and interviews in a positive and encouraging environment, with a strong focus on the wellbeing of pupils. We are proud to say that our children consistently achieve places and scholarships at top senior schools in London and the South East.

Highly Competitive Fees

As a charitable trust, we provide exceptional education at some of the most competitive fees. Our focus is on the quality of education for our children, not on making a profit. Fees include extras like SEN support, day trips, and swimming lessons.

Our Kew College Prep Community

Visitors to our school often comment on the warm and happy atmosphere that they experience as soon as they come through our doors. Children actively participate in all aspects of school life, including school plays, choir performances, charity events, clubs, trips and residentials. They build lasting friendships and grow in confidence in our nurturing community where they are safe to challenge themselves and try new things.

We’d love to welcome you to a tour or open morning to experience our vibrant community first-hand!
