Aims and Ethos

Twickenham Preparatory School was founded by a small group of parents in a church hall next to Twickenham Green in 1969. They wanted to establish a school that was pastoral, caring and sensitive to the needs of the individual child.

 

Our vision for TPS remains true to that ethos: delivering an exceptional all-round education, centred on helping every child:

 

We will enable each child to thrive personally, socially and academically, preparing them for the future by creating an environment that promotes wellbeing, encourages curiosity and celebrates individual success.

To achieve our vision, we seek to:

  • Strive for excellence for every child in academic pursuits, sporting endeavours and creative activities such as arts and music
  • Provide a stimulating and challenging all-round education with subject specialisms and a vibrant and exciting extra-curricular programme
  • Prepare the children for the next stage of their education and later life, developing them into responsible, independent learners

  • Be sensitive to the needs of our pupils, seeking to develop the confidence that they need to succeed and focusing on each child’s wellbeing and positive mental health
  • Inspire our pupils to live out our school motto in everything they do – to be: ‘Calm, Courageous, Courteous and Considerate.’
  • Encourage our pupils to be respectful of everyone they meet
  • Create opportunities for the children to make a positive contribution to society, and provide opportunities to engage with the local community
