A crucial element of our success is the 70 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 Preparatory School has over 480 boys who share the campus, timetable and facilities with the Senior School. It retains its own Library (to view the website, click here), 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.
