About Bute House, Preparatory School for Girls

Come and teach at Bute House; a caring, dynamic and exciting environment, in which girls flourish and, most importantly, have a great deal of fun.

We believe in fostering a love of lifelong learning to prepare our girls for the challenges of an exciting future that we may not yet be able to imagine. Our approach enables all girls to achieve high academic standards, without unnecessary competition and pressure and we are proud of our non-competitive academic ethos. We utilise our generous ratio of staff to pupils, creating small bespoke groups, allowing the girls to move through the curriculum with appropriate pace and challenge.

We believe the best way to support our pupils is with excellent teaching. We prioritise teacher development and expect all members of our team to be committed to their own professional growth. Our system of mentoring and coaching is designed to encourage individuals to pursue their own strengths and to take an interest in developing their own professional knowledge of current best practice and sharing this with their colleagues.

We offer both a rich and rigorous education, enabling all of our pupils to run their own best race.
