About

There really is no place like Caversham Prep! Welcome to our school. We are a family owned and family run school, for families. A small, local school with big ambitions for our pupils.

One of only a small number of family run, independent schools in the country, we place a strong emphasis on the support of our close-knit community to foster the growth and development of each and every child at our school. We combine traditional teaching methods to establish firm foundations for learning with a digital programme to prepare our children for the future.

Our children are engendered with a strong moral compass and an I Can ethos, believing that with support, they can , and do achieve. We teach our youngest children to read in the early days after joining us, because once a child can read, they can write, using their phonic knowledge; and if they can read and write, they can access the curriculum.

Throughout the school, our children make excellent progress in all academic subjects. We enjoy and progress in sport , art, music, and drama .
