Wellbeing is at the heart of life in the Prep School. We know that happy girls flourish, so every pupil is known, supported and valued as an individual.

Through the myHappymind programme, PSHE and RSE, girls learn to understand their emotions, build resilience and form healthy relationships. Leadership roles and charitable activities encourage confidence, kindness and a sense of purpose.

When extra support is needed, our experienced Learning Support team provides tailored interventions, helping pupils feel secure, empowered and ready to take on new challenges.

Wraparound Care

We understand that modern family life is busy, which is why our wrap-around care offers flexibility and peace of mind, supporting not just our pupils, but their families too.

Morning Care runs from 7.30am to 8am, free of charge, in the Senior School Dining Room. Parents simply pay for Breakfast on ParentPay.

After-School Care runs from 3.30pm to 6pm, with a high tea and a choice of activities from crafts and dressing-up to outdoor play. Homework Club for Key Stage 2 is available twice a week before collection.

Pastoral care and good mental health are fundamental to the offer here. Each class has its own charter where girls commit to getting to know each other and making sure everyone is included.

Good Schools Guide Review 2025

Teachers listen to us, they don’t just want us to learn, they want us to be happy people and help us to feel better if we get sad.’ Lots of leadership opportunities, every class has a rights, eco and school representative as well as a happiness hero who will offer to play with you if you are sad. The girls here certainly are a happy bunch.
