King Edwards Pre-Prep School & Nursery, Bath

King Edward’s Pre-Prep and Nursery offers an exciting and stimulating world in which to start school life.

A desire to make learning ‘irresistible’ in a nurturing environment is at the heart of everything we do.  Personalised learning, combined with academic rigour, ensures that every child thrives and is provided with the extension and support that they need. New initiatives, fresh challenges, concerts, trips, visiting experts and inspiring projects all help to enrich our broad and creative curriculum.

Child focused - First and foremost we want every child to feel safe, encouraged and happy in school.  We place children at the centre of learning, creating a close match between your child and the curriculum. This helps to increase a child’s eagerness to learn, builds self-esteem and encourages positive attitudes.

Family focused - Visitors to the Pre-Prep often remark on the wonderful ‘family feel’ that they sense in the school. We work very hard to be as family-focused as possible and are very fortunate to have such supportive parents; we are never short of volunteers for the many school trips that the children enjoy and for all the varied events that take place. It is lovely to see not only parents but grandparents taking an active role in the school.

Outdoor focused - At King Edward’s the outdoor environment is a natural extension of the classroom and we are proud of our status as a Forest School. As well as allowing children to engage directly with the environment, outdoor learning also brings together many different elements of the curriculum and enriches school life.

You will find that no two days are alike at the Pre-Prep. Full of magical discovery and excitement, our children play, make friends and explore the world together.
