Prenton Prep is an independent co-educational school founded in Prenton in 1935. It moved to its present site in Oxton in 1974. Nestling in the heart of Oxton's conservation area, the charming sandstone building, stands in attractive mature gardens. The school has recently been refurbished and extended to provide a state of the art IT/Science block. These secure surroundings provide a large playground and lawned area for the pupils.

Well known for its friendly atmosphere, Prenton Prep maintains a sound traditional approach to education and behaviour whilst daily reinforcing social skills, mutual respect and consideration for others.

The Headteacher is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA), a regulating body through which the school gains many advantages such as regular inspections, up to date educational practice and advice as well as cultural and sporting fixtures both at local and national level.
