About

St Olaves Prep School is a happy, co-educational and non-selective independent school for children from 3 to 11 years old. There is a palpable sense of community at St Olaves, and visitors often comment on the warm and happy atmosphere, and the family feel that they notice around the school.

Our holistic approach to education means that we place great importance upon the intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development of each child, and our talented and dedicated team of teachers nurture and inspire the children so that they flourish academically and emotionally.

We aim to create a sense of happiness and warmth in which children are motivated to work and play to the best of their abilities. Both inside and outside the classroom, we generate a sense of vitality based on the principle that learning is fun.

We aim to prepare children not just for tomorrow but for every tomorrow throughout their life and we work to instil life skills that will set them up for secondary school and beyond.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
