Preparatory school

welcome

Welcome to the Preparatory School at Kingsley. Our beautifully situated Victorian site, located in the north of the town, accommodates our Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 classrooms within one setting. The Kingsley Preparatory School fosters a strong sense of community, where pupils develop confidence and a love of learning within an inclusive and stimulating environment.

Our high academic standards give our pupils the platform to consistently achieve well above national expectations at EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Our dynamic 4D curriculum is designed to inspire independent learning, develop future-ready skills and promote excellence in every area.

However, our reputation extends beyond academic achievement. We are equally proud of our pupils’ success outside the classroom, with Forest School, sporting, musical and artistic accomplishments all highly valued. Pupils are taught in small classes by a team of experienced and dedicated teachers who inspire a love of learning, nurture good manners and social skills, and encourage enthusiasm for new challenges. By the time our Year 6 pupils move on to Senior School, they are confident, well-rounded young people, fully prepared to embrace the opportunities ahead.

Our Kingsley parents often speak of the positive energy that fills the Preparatory School each day, from children eager to arrive in the mornings to high standards of teaching and learning and a genuine sense of innovation and adventure.

Independence and curiosity are encouraged and nurtured throughout the school, from Little Aviators to Year 6. Personalised learning and engaging opportunities stem from our Creative Curriculum, which offers a variety of stimulating whole-school themes designed to inspire curiosity and encourage exploration.

The Kingsley Preparatory School is built on a remarkable educational history spanning more than 140 years, yet the school continues to evolve, offering a modern and dynamic approach. We warmly invite you to make an appointment to visit and experience the school for yourself; we would be delighted to meet you.

"Preparatory school students describe their school as a family: their inclusivity and tolerance towards others is excellent."
