Set in beautiful park land and with extensive sports fields, The Prep offers a first rate all round education for the children of Cambridgeshire and its surrounding areas.

One of the important features of our education is the emphasis on specialist teaching which encourages the children to reach their full potential and develop a real love of learning. This, along with our excellent facilities, which includes two science laboratories, two ICT rooms, an Art and Design Technology suite, a Music School with a music technology studio and a first rate Library, confirm our commitment to provide an education of real breadth in which all areas of the curriculum are valued equally.

In addition, we provide pupils with the opportunities and encouragement to discover and develop their extra-curricular talents and enjoy success outside the classroom.

The years between 7 and 11 are important years in the development of a child. We are passionate that our pupils grow in their sense of reliability and consideration for others and become people who are capable of working successfully in collaboration with others, whilst also learning how to become independent.

I am very proud of The Prep and its pupils. The school has the academic excellence of a top city day school, coupled with first rate pastoral care, a strong commitment to sport and the creative arts and rich extra-curricular provision.

It is, without doubt, an environment where boys and girls can put into place the educational patterns and habits so important to the twenty-first century child.
