Welcome from the Headteacher

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Prenton Preparatory School.

Our focus is on learning and growth, be that academic, social or emotional. Our ever-developing programme of learning beyond the classroom means that whether your child enjoys sport, music, drama, or if they’re thoughtful, competitive, curious, or creative, there is something to engage and inspire them.

We are also a warm and supportive community. If you were to ask a member of staff, student or parent what they love about Prenton, I can guarantee that our spirit of community will play a major role in their response. We believe in respect, kindness and caring for others. Our students really are at the heart of all we do, and we go the extra mile to ensure that every child is seen, heard, known, and has a strong sense of belonging. Our pupils are happy, confident, well-mannered children who love to learn and who are proud of their achievements and of their school.

Prenton Prep is a happy and thriving place with a unique identity and spirit. It is a privilege and a joy to lead such a wonderful school and if you are considering investing in your child’s future, I encourage you to contact us to arrange a visit. We will be delighted to show you around and answer any questions you may have.

We are proud that our most recent ISI inspection in May 2025 confirmed that we met all regulatory standards under the new framework. Read the report Here.

As Headteacher, I am committed to ensuring that every child enjoys learning, achieves well, and leaves Prenton ready for the future.

The best way to find out properly about Prenton is to see us in action and to meet the staff and pupils. Please do get in touch to arrange a personal tour or join us on one of our Open Days. We will be pleased to welcome you.
