The Secret Garden

Our school day in the Pre-Prep offers flexibility during term time to suit busy families and also to cater for the differing interests and energy levels of the children.

The core part of the school day provides an excellent balance of learning through work and play both in the classroom, around the wonderful setting of the Secret Garden and within the superb facilities and grounds of the Prep School.


... a magical place of willow arches, cherry trees and every sort of adventure equipment
