The Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to offer our boys a breadth of experience and prepare them for examinations to the highest academic standards, with each receiving an individual learning plan. Eaton House Belgravia Pre-Prep prepares boys for 7+ and 8+ examinations. The Prep takes boys at age eight and prepares them for the 11+ examination.
Games & The Arts
Sport and arts are central to our philosophy, as we want the boys to feel creative and fulfilled. PE lessons, offsite games and swimming sessions help develop key sports skills. Drama and music are popular, and there are many after-school clubs and extra-curricular trips.
Pastoral Care
This is a happy school, full of energy, fun and laughter. Wellbeing is central to the school’s philosophy and the ‘nurturing staff know their boys and care for them.’ Good Schools Guide (2022). Our buddy system integrates new boys, together with the House system. Form teachers ensure the boys’ emotional development is supported. Parents are encouraged to talk to teachers when they pick up their sons.
Recent Scholarships
EHB Pre-Prep School is a Westminster and St Paul’s feeder, with an impressive number of 7+ and 8+ boys receiving offers each year.

Prep exit schools at 11+ have included Westminster Under, Dulwich College and Merchant Taylor’s School.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
The Good Schools Guide (2022) says Mr May is ‘ambitious for his school, shows vision and is full of enthusiasm for developing each boy’s all-round potential, emotionally as well as academically.’
