Imagine a school where you don’t have to choose between your head and your heart.

A school which gives your child the best possible academic start in life without compromising on the love, care, sparkle, joy and fun so critical to early development. An education which opens up opportunities and pathways to outstanding schools after Pre-Prep, without closing down the magic and exuberance of a happy childhood.

Our success as Independent Pre-Prep School of the Year 2025 reflects the way in which we tread this path. Whilst it’s lovely to be recognised, awards are not what drive us. Our key motivation is to maximise the window of opportunity for your child: to ensure those all-important first five years are exciting, inspiring and set your child up for future life with a love of learning, resilience, confidence, empathy and independence.

Your child will achieve high standards in the most memorable way here, nurtured by specialists and experts in early education. Imagine Olympic-style opening ceremonies led by the children at Sports Day, baking birthday cakes with friends in Nursery or designing a new chocolate bar for Mars Confectionary…

Prospective families often describe a sense of relief on visiting us: both at finding an education for the head and the heart, and at discovering the support we offer parents. Parenting young children can be challenging; we partner with you to ensure your child has the best possible start.

Come and see us on a working day and discover for yourself the sparkling creativity that makes St Christopher’s so special.
