How a child learns is as important as what a child learns.

Parsons Green Prep is an independent day school in London for 200 boys and girls from 4 to 11 years of age. Our children are prepared mentally, emotionally and physically and also develop the independence they will need to succeed in a rapidly changing world. This allows them to move on totally ready and with confidence to the full range of senior schools in and out of London.

PGP is a school where children thrive and where they are treated as unique individuals. All of this is underpinned by a culture of kindness, ensuring that all children are valued for who they are. Our teachers deliver an exciting and contemporary curriculum in a unique setting, with an abundance of inside and outside space in which to learn and play. We look forward to showing you our wonderful school.
