About

Heywood Prep is a caring, friendly independent prep school and community in which happy children discover a love of learning, have access to numerous opportunities and develop the confidence to fulfil their potential.

We are an independent prep school and nursery, for boys and girls aged two to eleven, located in the heart of Corsham, Wiltshire, with two acres of beautiful gardens where children play, explore and learn. At the heart of our ethos is learning tailored to every child, and this is built into the curriculum through our Individualised Learning sessions.

In this way, children at every level are supported, enthused and challenged to broaden their interests, maximise their learning and achieve their very best. With opportunities ranging from the academic and the arts to entrepreneurship and leadership challenges, our children benefit from an outstanding team of committed and imaginative teachers.

"A very professional and inspiring school, which my wife and I believe will help our children flourish."

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