Staines Preparatory School – Inspiring Futures Since 1935
For 90 years we have been inspiring young minds within a warm, inclusive and family focused environment where every child is truly known. As a non-selective independent school, Staines Prep combines high academic standards with a personalised approach, supporting pupils to achieve their full potential both academically and personally.
Following a successful ISI inspection in 2024, the school was proud to be recognised for a “significant strength” under the new inspection framework, reflecting its commitment to excellence across all areas of school life. Central to this is the Staines Prep Way; a shared set of values that promotes kindness, confidence, resilience and respect.
Children benefit from a bespoke curriculum delivered by specialised subject teachers in designated classrooms. Outstanding facilities enhance learning experiences, including a fully equipped sports hall, science laboratory and a Forest School yurt, alongside generous outdoor spaces. A broad extra-curricular programme further enriches school life, offering pupils opportunities to discover interests, build skills and develop independence.
Strong partnerships with parents underpin the school’s success, creating a supportive community where children feel happy, secure and motivated to learn.
Families are warmly invited to visit for a Personal Tour or Open Morning to discover what makes Staines Preparatory School such a special place to learn, grow and thrive.
