Description
Kew Green Preparatory School is Independent Primary school in Richmond upon Thames for kids aged 4 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
At Kew Green Preparatory School, they offer the children the opportunity to succeed, be recognised and be valued. The pupils achieve their full potential - academically, physically and socially - throughout their journey at the school. We instil tolerance and respect for others, we celebrate diversity and emphasise the importance of contributing to society. Our children develop resilience, enabling them to embrace change, question that which they don’t understand and to be brave enough to make mistakes.They are a school of smiles and laughter where pupils grow to have ambition and develop their sense of achievement, their sense of belonging and their sense that, for them, there are no limits.
Facilities
Lower School
In the Lower School (ages 4-7), a secure foundation of basic skills is laid. Particular attention is given to numeracy and all aspects of literacy - reading, spelling, grammar, handwriting and comprehension. Essential oral, listening and questioning skills are also developed. These are fostered across the whole curriculum.At the same time, individual and creative expression is nurtured and encouraged. Pupils have the same class teacher for the majority of lessons. We have expert specialist teachers who will teach the children in Lower School for Music, French, Art and PE/Games.
Upper School
Upper School pupils (ages 7-11) also have a class teacher who is responsible for their pastoral care and emotional wellbeing. Many of their lessons are given by subject specialists. For all age groups, the average class size is 20.At every stage, the children are given an awareness and understanding of the world around them. Our curriculum is enlivened and enriched by visitors to the school, educational trips and clubs. We aim to relate academic learning to the real world beyond the classroom, whether this is with visits to our neighbour The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, botany lessons by the River Thames or by meeting eminent guests who come to speak at the school. Parents are often involved in this and we encourage them to bring as much as possible to the daily life of the school.
