Why Shrewsbury House Pre-Prep?
Shrewsbury House Pre-Prep offers an exceptional first school experience for boys and girls aged two to seven years. Established in 1912 and situated between Claygate and Esher, the School is safely enclosed in its own spacious, beautiful grounds, on a site specifically designed for young children.
Excellent Pastoral CareOur reputation for excellent pastoral care is well founded. The small, nurturing environment ensures that each child is known individually by every member of staff. Mental Health and Wellbeing, and the children’s happiness, is paramount with the positive learning environment we create allowing every child to thrive and reach their individual potential and for their confidence to blossom. |

There is a strong family feel to the school and new children and their families quickly settle in and become part of our community.
Highest Academic Standards
We strive to provide the highest academic standards, with an engaging and imaginative curriculum, harnessing the children’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm. They are encouraged to ‘aim high’ at all times, and not to be afraid to ‘have a go’, with the knowledge that they are safe to make mistakes or get things wrong.
Exciting and Engaging School Day
The school day is full of opportunities and exciting adventures. Clubs, activities, outings, music, performances and sports fixtures create a full and rich provision for the children to enjoy and generate more magical memories.
Parent Partnerships
Our school actively seeks partnership with parents, working together to provide the best for your children. We want you to be a part of your child’s early educational journey and to really enjoy the years that go by all too quickly! Communication is open and strong, with many opportunities for parents to attend events and get involved.

Expert Advice
Securing the best match for your child’s next step is vital and this is done through ongoing conversations between school and home. We can offer expert advice on a variety of future options for girls and we have close relationships with several highly regarded single-sex and co-ed schools.
Our boys benefit from our special relationship with Shrewsbury House Preparatory School, and, where appropriate, they are offered a ‘straight through’ route, without the need to attend an assessment day.
