The Curriculum
Kew Green Prep delivers a broad, balanced curriculum that blends strong academics with specialist-taught art, music, sport, languages and computing right from the start. There is a ‘high challenge, low threat’ ethos and an emphasis on building a lasting love of learning. Pupils progress from creative exploration to structured study, building confidence, collaboration and independence while preparing for the 11+. Oracy and philosophy elements complement the core subject offering.
Sport & The Arts
Children build core physical skills early on, progressing to competitive team sports on the green, at the excellence facilities of the Ealing Trailfinders Rugby Club, or on the annual sports tours. Specialist spaces for music, drama and D&T nurture creativity, with every pupil learning an instrument in the school’s musical pods. Many also join choirs or ensembles and go on European choir tours. Recently formed clubs include animation, robotics and fencing.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care at Kew Green Prep centres on knowing every child well and supporting their emotional, social and academic wellbeing. Staff nurture confidence, empathy and resilience through close relationships, a broad curriculum, clubs and trips. Children are valued as individuals, encouraged to contribute to the community and given balanced support from the school’s progress centre, even during 11+ preparation.
Recent Scholarships
Pupils progress to top schools including St Paul’s Boys’ and Girls’, King’s Wimbledon, Latymer Upper, Kingston Grammar, and Kew House School. Many earn academic, sport and arts scholarships.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
To nurture and value every child as an individual, balancing academic ambition with creativity, confidence and wellbeing. I believe pupils thrive when known and supported, so school life at Kew Green is warm, challenging and filled with opportunities to grow.
