Head of Preparatory School

Sutton Valence Preparatory School, situated in the glorious Kent countryside, is a School with great heart. We take pride in our capacity to cherish each child for who they are, whilst at the same time encouraging them to raise their expectations of themselves so they can achieve their true potential. We are a School that values individuality and ensures every pupil enjoys their own, unique journey through the most formative years of their education.

Encompassing Little Lambs Nursery (age 2-4), our Pre-Prep (Reception to Year 2) and Prep (Year 3 to Year 6), SVPS is a vibrant environment that promotes creative freedom, inquisitive thinking and boasts the facilities to truly explore, expand and experience incredible opportunities.

Preparing our pupils for the next step on their educational journey is our priority. Whether it is moving up to our Senior School or gaining a place at a local grammar school, everything we do throughout their prep school career focuses on both enjoyment and achievement. Every child receives the highest quality academic teaching alongside a myriad of opportunities designed to enhance their personal development through an extensive and diverse enrichment programme.

It is our responsibility to prepare our pupils to become happy, fulfilled young people who have the confidence and skills to lead others. We do this is in an atmosphere of mutual respect, warmth and care that extends to the whole family. We encourage everyone to lead by example, to show that we are a community that cherishes and supports each other, whether it is a success that needs to be celebrated or care given when things aren’t quite going as planned. We are very proud of the confident, compassionate pupils we have and of the unique community which lives out our ethos of ‘each cares for all’ on a daily basis.
