About Alleyn’s Regent’s Park Prep School
Alleyn’s Regent’s Park is a co-educational independent preparatory school for children aged 4 to 13, located in a beautiful historic former convent on the edge of Regent’s Park. As part of the wider Alleyn’s Schools Group, and an 11+ centre of excellence, we combine the distinctive warmth and ambition of the Alleyn’s community with an education that prepares children for the next steps in some of London’s most competitive senior schools.
Our school offers a nurturing, dynamic, and academically rigorous environment, ensuring each child is fully prepared for their next stage of education, whilst embracing a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
With a transformational multi-million-pound development programme underway, Alleyn’s Regent’s Park is entering an exciting new chapter, set to deliver outstanding facilities and continue to thrive as part of one of the most respected educational groups in London.
Our Values: The Alleyn’s ROCCK
· Respect
· Opportunity
· Curiosity
· Courage
· Kindness
These values underpin everything we do – from lessons and co-curricular activities to how we support and care for each other. They guide our relationships, learning, and approach to challenge and discovery, shaping confident, kind, and thoughtful young people.
Why we are ‘All’ at Alleyn’s
We love the fact that there is an ‘All’ in Alleyn’s. At Alleyn’s Regent’s Park, we take pride in our inclusive, warm, varied, energetic, and ambitious community, where every pupil, every member of staff, and the school as a whole are encouraged to be all they can be. Every child is known and valued, supported to find their own voice, passions, and path, while staff are equally empowered to thrive and grow within a culture of collaboration, respect, and shared purpose. We do this through the school aims, which are to:
· Promote respect, well-being and diversity in a caring community where every individual can flourish.
· Develop curiosity, wonder, creativity and a love of learning.
· Inspire ambition and intellectual rigour through excellent teaching and learning.
· Cultivate discovery and opportunity through an outstanding co-curriculum.
· Foster awareness, leadership and connection through partnership and enterprise.
· Cherish the wider Alleyn’s family and honour our historic commitment to Edward Alleyn’s charitable foundation.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is carefully designed to ignite curiosity, foster a genuine love of learning, and develop the knowledge and skills that ensure academic success. We balance rigorous preparation for senior school entry with a broad and stimulating educational experience that encourages children to ask questions, explore deeply, and think critically.
Children benefit from specialist teaching in Art, Drama, French, Music, and Sport from the earliest years, and from Year 5 onwards, all subjects are taught by specialists, providing high-quality, engaging, and enriching learning opportunities.
In addition to core subjects such as English, Maths, Science, and Humanities, pupils engage in a wide-ranging curriculum including Music, Drama, Dance, Art, Languages (French, Spanish, Latin, and Mandarin), Philosophy, Economics and Politics, and Computer Science, ensuring a broad, forward-thinking education that prepares them for the future.
Learning at Alleyn’s Regent’s Park is underpinned by the seven learning dispositions of responsibility, resilience, reflection, empathy and humility, thoroughness and focus, courage and self-belief and imagination. We see these as forming the basis for children in ‘how we learn’ and they are woven through teaching across all subjects during each child’s time at Regent’s Park, so that children become resilient, independent, resourceful and collaborative learners.
Academic Enrichment
An Alleyn’s Regent’s Park education extends far beyond the classroom. Inspired by the Alleyn’s ethos of "All We Can Be", we provide a rich programme of academic enrichment to stretch, challenge, and inspire every pupil.
From guest speakers and themed events to academic clubs (including STEM, Coding, and Languages), our pupils are encouraged to explore ideas, pursue interests, and develop a life-long love of learning.
Our focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning helps pupils become intellectually curious and confident – ready for the challenges of Senior School and beyond.
Co-curricular: All In
Our All In co-curricular programme is an essential part of life at Alleyn’s Regent’s Park. We believe every child should have the opportunity to find their 'thing', whether in sports, the arts, academic clubs, or leadership opportunities.
Children participate in a wide range of clubs and activities, from football, street dance, fencing, and karate to creative writing, film-making, knitting, textiles, and music ensembles. Our vibrant Music and Performing Arts programme includes choirs, brass bands, orchestras, and drama productions, with opportunities for individual music tuition and LAMDA preparation.
We also offer academic clubs (STEM, coding, languages), environmental initiatives (Climate Change Committee and gardening clubs), and leadership opportunities (School Council, Charity Committee, pupil-led projects).
Many clubs and activities are offered free of charge, and pupils are encouraged to commit to their chosen activities, building resilience, teamwork, and a sense of achievement.
Facilities
Alleyn’s Regent’s Park is set in a beautiful heritage building, rich in character, yet being transformed into a state-of-the-art educational environment through significant investment. Over the next 18 months, we will deliver a multi-million-pound refurbishment programme, creating spaces that are designed to inspire learning, foster creativity, and support wellbeing.
Plans include:
· A new Dining & Dance facility
· The remodelling of the school’s historic Chapel into a Creative & Performing Arts Hub
· Creation of a dedicated Wellness Centre, The Well – our dedicated Pastoral Hub, supporting proactive wellbeing, medical care, and counselling services
We believe that the physical environment shapes a child’s learning and sense of belonging. Our future spaces are designed to be friendly, creative, and authentic, offering children a setting that reflects our values and educational aspirations.
