Friends' Prep
We encourage you to visit the Preparatory Department to meet our pupils and staff and to get a flavour of what we offer. Please contact us to arrange a suitable time and the Head of Department will be delighted to show you around.
We welcome applications at any time for all classes up to and including Prep 6. The Board of Governors will only consider applications for Prep 7 in exceptional circumstances. We set an upper limit on class size of 26 pupils, this ensures that each child receives a high level of attention and support from staff.
For more information, please read our admissions policy here.
