Top 10 reasons to choose Wilmslow Preparatory School
As a small, non-selective prep school for boys and girls, we are committed to providing the best education in a happy, caring and stimulating environment.
1. Small class sizes – enabling individual attention for all pupils.
2. Choice at 11 – at WPS we prepare our children for a wide range of Senior Schools and have an excellent record of children gaining entry to their first choice of school.
3. Academic Achievement – this year, all Form 6 pupils successfully achieved places at senior schools of their choice, with 25% of the class having been offered scholarships. We set an extremely high standard and value each child as an individual, allowing all pupils to achieve their full potential.
4. Outstanding EYFS Inspection – our superb track record of giving our pupils the very best start to their education has been recognised again in our most recent Early Years’ Inspection, where the Independent Schools Inspectorate found that ‘the overall quality, standards and care are outstanding.’
5. Differentiation – we differentiate teaching, offering extension activities and support where needed, meeting the needs of each individual child.
6. Specialist Teachers – we have specialist teachers and facilities for several subjects including Music, PE, Art, Languages, Science, ICT, Speech & Drama and Maths. We also have a dedicated Learning Support Teacher enabling additional support to be given on a one-to-one basis.
7. Extra-curricular activities – our programme of activities is extensive, covering everything from ballet to fencing, chess and puzzle club to football and much more!
8. Pastoral Care – we place strong emphasis on pastoral care. We value good manners, respect and kindness and our playground buddy system is an excellent example of this.
9. Parental Involvement – in educating the children, we recognise the value of working closely with our families, communicating regularly. We also have an extremely active and successful Parents’ Committee.
10. Before and After School Care – for many parents, an early drop off and later pick up can be critical, whether occasionally or on a daily basis. Our Early Class operates from 8am and Late Class closes at 6.30pm.
