Prep School

Welcome To Our Prep School

I would like to warmly welcome you and your family to Gosfield Prep School and Nursery.

We believe in nurturing our pupils’ growth and personal development; inspiring each individual to flourish at their own pace, developing their natural gifts and talents, no matter what their starting point.

We enable our pupils to become curious learners who want to do well. We want our pupils to develop a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives. Our aim is to provide every child with the very best education and support within an environment that is welcoming, safe and happy.

We promote an atmosphere of mutual respect and celebration. Our pupils are kind, considerate and helpful to one another and our community.

We take great delight in providing children with exceptional pastoral care; happy children are more likely to study and grow.

We have an open-door policy and invite parents to visit the school frequently throughout each academic year to hear more about their child’s progress.

I encourage all prospective families to book in a tour or to visit us for one of our popular Open Days to find out more about what makes the Gosfield difference.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family in person.

Heather Bougeard
Head of Gosfield Prep School and Nursery

From your first visit to our Prep School, you will recognise that there is something special about it. Our broad curriculum, exceptional pastoral care and nurturing environment ensure that our children are both happy and inspired and that they each develop their individual strengths at the pace best suited to their ability.

We welcome children at the very beginning of their learning journey in the Early Years Foundation Stage, Nursery to Year 6, in readiness for their Senior School education. Our location is very special, withing a purpose-built school set in glorious, extensive woodland.

Learning takes place both inside and outside of the classroom with weekly dedicated Forest School sessions for all year groups and a real focus on extracurricular activities.

We foster an environment of mutual respect and personal independence. We take pride in our children being kind, caring, polite and helpful towards each other and our community.

Nurturing Potential

Every child is unique and it is our duty to ensure that everyone achieves their full potential in all areas of their development.

Our aim is to provide every child with the very best education and support within an environment that is welcoming, purposeful, safe and happy. We want our pupils to develop a love of learning and curiosity that will stay with them throughout their lives.

Partnership With Parents

The partnership between home and school is essential to ensure that our pupils are provided with the best possible start to life. We welcome parents into the school to share in their child’s learning journey many times throughout the academic year and we operate an open-door policy.

Making the Right Choice for Your Child

We encourage you to visit us for one of our Open Days or book an appointment for a personalised tour before making your final decision.

We look forward to welcoming you to Gosfield Prep School.

Parents say…

“Thank you so much for another great Activity Week, our son is still talking about it weeks later! We love the fact that Gosfield considers this an important part of school life and recognises that children learn just as much doing clubs, activities and trips as they do inside the classroom. We are looking forward to the start of the new school year now!”
