Preparatory School

The LW Parry Preparatory School appreciates, respects and celebrates the diversity of boys. The community of parents, students and staff work together to achieve the School Mission 'Boys educated to know, to do, to live with others and to be' (UNESCO 1996). Our aim is to create a just and sustainable world for all.

A crucial element of our success is the 38 motivated members of staff who work with parents to develop the whole boy - boys that value literature and numeracy skills, the ability to think for themselves, boys who build their confidence and learn how to relate to and with others, who learn and cherish moral values, boys who love a challenge and have a hunger to learn and boys who are, most importantly, happy.

The Prep School has around 400 boys who share the campus, timetable and facilities with the Secondary School. It retains its own Library, Art facilities and Preparatory Music Centre. The Preparatory School caters for boys and their individual developmental needs and focuses on the fundamentals of education: writing, spelling, mathematics, grammar and phonics.  We encourage boys to develop personal values, virtues and emphasise the importance of a handshake and eye contact.

Boys are engaged in a wide range of co-curricular activities which inspire learning and teamwork through a myriad of opportunities.
