A perfect mix of smiles and success
Twickenham Pre-Prep School
Your child will enjoy a wonderful modern, purpose-built learning environment with six classrooms that extend into the outside area with a Nature Trail for Forest School, a dedicated play space for Reception and a garden for each class.
Our Pre-Prep is superbly equipped and filled with space and natural light to enhance teaching and learning which enables us to provide pupils with the very best start to their learning journey. These excellent facilities enable the pupils to explore, take risks and challenge themselves in work and play.
In Pre-Prep, our top priority is the wellbeing of our pupils with strong pastoral care and an emphasis on nurturing social skills so pupils can thrive in their friendships and learning.
Combined with this is an emphasis on academic excellence and a range of specialist teaching. Every pupil is valued as an individual child and learning plans are developed for each child according to their individual progress. Phonics and maths teaching are the foundation of every day’s learning in Reception.
All our colleagues are passionate about promoting the pupils’ natural curiosity and creativity. Pupils are encouraged to think for themselves, initiative is praised and the subsequent self-confidence helps pupils develop a positive attitude.
Challenge and stretch
From Reception, pupils have lessons in French, Computing, P.E., Music and Think Tank delivered by subject specialist teachers. Challenge and stretch are strong features in all our lessons across Pre-Prep. The high teacher-to-pupil ratio enables classes to work flexibly and creatively so everyone excels in their learning.

“As a father of a 5-year-old, I couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve had at TPS. The school creates a warm and nurturing environment where my daughter feels safe and valued. The small class sizes allow for more individualized attention, and the communication from the teachers is fantastic. I can tell that my daughter is treated with care and respect, which has made a huge difference in her confidence and development. “

“Since joining, her growth both academically and personally has been incredible. TPS has given her the confidence and foundation she needs to succeed not just in school, but in life. I’m so grateful for the positive impact this school has had on her.”

Skipping into Pre-Prep…
We work closely with families, nurseries and other schools to ensure the smoothest of transitions into TPS. Before joining us, families have many opportunities to visit the school and for the children to meet their new friends and feel at home in their new environment.
Within the first two weeks of September, our new pupils, even the very youngest, are skipping into Pre-Prep without parental support. This is truly their happy place!
