About Our Prep School (Years 3-8)

With superb facilities and specialist teachers, our dynamic curriculum places pupils at its heart, fostering confidence and independence for success in senior school and beyond.

Every child matters, and it is our goal to bring out the very best in each and every one of our Prep School family.

Inspiration and breadth form the core of our Prep School curriculum as we introduce children to new and exciting subjects and explore familiar ones in far greater depth.

Superb facilities, boundless opportunities.

From Year 3, all children experience specialist teaching in science, art, DT, and music, delivered in modern classrooms and workshops, including a suite of three well-equipped science laboratories. Drama productions, art exhibitions, musical concerts, and a huge assortment of clubs and activities all contribute to a well-rounded education. It is also a time when competitive sport is introduced, with opportunities to represent the school regionally and nationally in athletics, hockey, cricket, netball, swimming, and many more.

Cultivating Confidence, Empowering Independence.

As their Prep School journey develops, children become increasingly independent before being introduced, in Year 7, to the TDM Baccalaureate. Structured around our seven ‘Skills to Thrive’, the Baccalaureate has been carefully designed to provide a broad, high-quality education whilst also ensuring that children join senior school in Year 9 with a self-motivated approach to learning, equipped with a surefooted confidence that will serve them well throughout their lives.

Unashamedly Ambitious.

We work tirelessly to support the needs of our pupils and have a robust track record of helping them achieve 13+ scholarships to a number of high-quality schools throughout the UK. However, regardless of their chosen path, our staff are committed to achieving the very best outcomes for each and every child, as we nurture them through these formative years.
