Welcome
“The aim of our Prep School is to develop an enquiring mind and a lifelong love of learning in our girls. Through enthusiastic, inspiring specialist teaching and a broad and balanced curriculum, our girls are well prepared not merely for the demands of Senior School and the 11+ process, but also for a rich and fulfilling future. We have high expectations of the girls in our school and we regularly track progress carefully so that the standard and pace of the work suits every girl and ensures that she achieves her full potential.
What an exciting, enriching curriculum! My daughter comes home buzzing with new ideas and projects – all delivered with a cry to be bold, positive and risk-taking. A gem of a school
It has never been a better time to be a girl. That’s why our Prep School is so committed to delivering first-class experiences for every pupil which instill a belief that our girls can reach for the stars.
Our Prep School mascot is Fina, the giraffe. Fina perfectly encapsulates the ‘Sydenham Spirit’ and, as such, each Prep School pupil is invited to become a Giraffe Girl. Together, we stand tall, stick our necks out and always try new things.”
