Welcome to Banstead Prep
Our vision is to be a school that challenges, develops and nurtures every child, where every child is free to be themselves. We constantly strive to change and to improve, to deliver a modern education that prepares our children for an exciting future, encouraging them to aim high and dream big.
We have a central ambition to nurture independent learners and allow all children to develop their wonderfully unique characters. In a world where academic achievement is now rightly valued equally to the qualities, attributes and soft skills we possess. We strive to create an environment that adopts a truly holistic approach to education. Our learner powers provide the thread that connects the foundational skills set out in the EYFS to the qualities identified by the World Economic Forum as necessary and desirable for success in the professional world of today and beyond. These skills are taught implicitly and explicitly across all areas of our curriculum. Children understand what they are, what they look like, why they are important and how we develop them. Staff create learning opportunities that nurture curiosity and questioning skills, allowing children to make associations across subjects and experiences, transferring these skills with increasing competence as they move through our school.

Testimonials
Academic Achievement
Our children make Excellent Academic Progress. At the end of each key stage of education, Banstead Prep has more than twice the number of children working ‘At Greater Depth’ than the national benchmark. Children move on from Banstead Prep to a wide range of selective independent senior schools and grammar schools as well as state secondary schools, reflecting our commitment to finding the right school for each individual and tailoring our support and preparation for 11+ assessments.
Broad Curriculum
By offering a modern education with a broad, future focused curriculum provided by specialist subject teachers in senior school standard facilities, we create opportunities for children to be excited by and truly engaged with their learning, which leads naturally to academic success. This starts right from nursery and pre-school. Facilities include a full-sized sports hall and all-weather surface sports pitch, science and STEM labs and drama and art studios. Technology is embedded in the classroom using iPads to support and enhance learning with creative activities, including individual devices for children in Years 3 – 6.
Diverse and Inclusive Community
ISI Inspectors visiting the school observed that “pupils of all backgrounds and cultures enjoy very constructive and inclusive relationships in a very diverse and well-integrated community” where “Pupils’ contributions to the wellbeing of others within the school are obvious, positive and highly effective.” We are proud of how staff, parents and children work together.
