Prep School

Most children move through from the Pre-Prep to join the Prep School but places are usually available for children to join at other levels of their education. Children aged 7 to 13 years spend their time in the Prep School before transferring to some of the country’s top public schools both local and further afield.

We pride ourselves on excellence in all areas. A prep school education should be all about opportunity and the opportunities available to the students at Handcross Park are many and varied.  We have a very good academic record but our pupils regularly achieve excellence in other exciting areas like Sport, Drama, Music, Art and Technology; subjects that are really important to us. 

Golf, drama, dance, rock workshop, enamelling, swimming, chess, rock-climbing and trampolining are only a few of the many extra activities taking place each week.

We believe the welfare of every child entrusted to us is our first priority and consequently operate an exceptional system of pastoral care. Children have their own personal tutor with whom they spend time on a daily basis and communication between teachers and parents happens both informally and at regular meetings.
