A warm and caring learning environment for children aged 0 to 11 years old Wilmslow Preparatory is a small independent co-ed preparatory school with a big reputation. The School is located in the heart of Wilmslow in Cheshire.
Wilmslow Preparatory first opened its doors in 1909, when the school was located on Grove Street in Wilmslow where it remained until its move to Grove Avenue in 1912. We are a small, inclusive school where each pupil is nurtured as an individual, and encouraged and inspired to achieve their very best, inside and outside the classroom.
In this special learning environment, based on small class sizes and the needs of the individual, pupils do exceptionally well, achieving attainments significantly beyond national expectations. We also pride ourselves on our programme of sport, music, arts and extracurricular activities, and the traditional values of courtesy and good manners that we instil in our pupils.
Through a partnership with The King's School in Macclesfield our Infant and Junior Divisions are aligned academically whilst also sharing best practice. This provides an additional route for entry into King's Senior Division.
