About

Welcome to The Prebendal School, an unrivalled contemporary education, inspired by tradition. A Prebendal education is unique. Our strong academic focus with a genuine belief in creativity and an all-round education set us apart.

At The Prebendal School, children aged 2 years to 13 years old can grow and mature in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment, whilst developing skills, ambition, confidence and resilience for the future. Our academic results are renowned, but we offer so much more.

At The Prebendal School our approach encourages the exploration of ideas, the freedom to be creative, and a love of learning. Positive relationships and inclusivity are at the heart of our culture. Our children's individual strengths are developed by our highly qualified, professional and caring staff.

Through our broad range of academic subjects and co-curricular activities, we offer opportunities for all our children to discover their personal talents and realise their full potential. Almost every child plays a musical instrument, and many students are post-grade 8.
