TPS Headmaster: Oliver Barrett
Thanks for your interest in our fantastic school.
I’ve been Headmaster at Twickenham Prep School since September 2020 and feel truly privileged to be part of such an amazing community. My first experience of visiting TPS was all about the vibrancy and warmth of the welcome, making a positive lasting impression on me. I simply had to be part of the next exciting chapter of the school’s development!
A good friend of mine, who happens to be a TPS parent, is convinced that there is ‘something magical about the colour purple’. And this encapsulates all the energy and fun which pervades the learning taking place here, reflecting the dedication and skill of the teachers and support staff who make every day a thrilling prospect for the children.
There is awe and wonder about lessons through our broad and challenging curriculum, excitement about trips, workshops and the extensive co-curricular programme, and a genuine sense for each child of being an important member of our caring community.
Of course, choosing the right school is a critical one for parents and carers; the decision will determine the nature of the environment in which your child is educated, and the values of the school will influence them for the rest of their lives.
The firm foundation derived from an outstanding independent school education here at TPS is increasingly important in these challenging times, when society needs its future leaders to be adaptable, creative and resilient, whilst demonstrating empathy and kindness.
TPS creates a foundation for life; both for today and the future, in a wonderful, co-educational setting. We aim to inspire a love of independent learning, seeking to ensure our pupils are ‘Calm, Courageous, Courteous and Considerate’.
Our school is all about nurturing happy and settled children with strong friendships and trusted teachers and support staff behind them. So TPS will truly be ‘their happy place’!
Please visit us soon to see for yourselves…
