Welcome to Farrowdale House Preparatory School.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about our school.

Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision, and at Farrowdale House School we understand how much parents want their child to feel happy, supported and confident, while also making strong academic progress.

We are a small independent school, and that is very much our strength. Small class sizes mean that every child is truly known — their personality, their strengths and the areas where they need encouragement. This allows us to offer a nurturing environment alongside high expectations, so children feel confident enough to try, make mistakes and succeed.

Our approach combines a broad and balanced curriculum with a strong focus on the core skills of reading, writing and mathematics. Learning is structured and purposeful, but never pressured. We believe children achieve their best when they feel safe, valued and supported.

Pastoral care sits at the heart of everything we do. We take pride in the warm, family feel of our school and the positive relationships between staff, pupils and parents. Children are encouraged to be kind, respectful and independent, and to develop confidence both inside and outside the classroom.

Our dedicated and experienced staff know the children well and work closely together to ensure each child is supported and gently challenged throughout their time with us. From the early years through to the upper school, we focus on helping children grow academically, socially and emotionally, preparing them well for the next stage of their education.

We are very proud of our pupils and all that we achieve together. I warmly invite you to come and visit us to see our school in action and to experience the calm, caring atmosphere for yourself.

I look forward to welcoming you.
