Set in the heart of Kew in leafy South-West London, Kew College Prep provides a small, supportive and vibrant school community. The minute you walk through the door, the ethos of the school is apparent; it is a friendly and caring environment which is relaxed but purposeful. The relationship between staff and pupils is warm and open and the children are respectful, responsible, hard-working, and fun-loving individuals.

From September 2025, the school launches a rolling admissions process where children can join the Nursery straight after their third birthday, rather than waiting until the following September. In Nursery, children are taught by a fully qualified teacher, giving them an excellent foundation and preparation for the transition to Reception. Nursery children also enjoy regular outdoor learning, lessons with specialist teachers in music, sport, French, dance and ICT, as well as use of the prep school facilities.

Key strengths are the academic results that children achieve and the top schools that they go on to after 11+ exams. Highly qualified, experienced teachers provide an individualised approach, identifying each child's needs and delivering extra challenge and support where appropriate. Fees are highly competitive in comparison to local prep schools and offer excellent value. Music, sport and drama are an essential part of the curriculum, with a wide range of extra-curricular clubs on offer.

The school has a highly successful 11+ programme, which starts in Year 5. This combines an experienced team of teachers, teaching assistants and the Head, with a tailored programme of lessons that allow children to prepare for senior school entrance exams in a positive, encouraging environment. The results of senior school entrance exams are excellent, with children achieving places at London's top schools and numerous scholarships attained.

The children display an overwhelming desire to achieve and are inspired by staff who work with boundless energy, dedication and determination. No stone is left unturned as they strive to support and nurture every child to achieve their full potential. A strong moral value system is embedded from an early age so that, by the time the pupils leave Kew College Prep, they can think independently and critically. They are inquisitive, reflective and well-rounded; true individuals who are prepared for the rigours of senior school and for the changing world in which they live.

"Both of our children joined the school in the Nursery and have flourished in the nurturing and caring environment the school provides. The children are all confident, articulate, well-mannered, and thoroughly nice kids who are comfortable in the company of adults. Our children have thrived at Kew College Prep and always raced enthusiastically into school each day. The teaching and school philosophy is very much focused on helping each child to achieve their best in a happy environment. As parents, we really couldn't ask for more." The Stewart family.

"We chose Kew College Prep for our four daughters for its warm atmosphere and its happy, friendly, and well-mannered pupils. We feel fortunate to have also found a school which fulfils its promise of educating our children to their highest potential. We have children with differing abilities and personalities, but Kew College Prep has provided support and education for all of them. Every child at this school is unique, but one thing that every child here has in common is that they will leave strengthened by their experience." The Ahmed Family.
