Kingsley Prep provides an inclusive and inspiring education from Years 1 to 6. Rooted in kindness, shaped by the outdoors and inspired by our unique coastal setting, every child is known, valued and supported to become the best version of themselves.
Kingsley Prep has a distinctive small-school family feel, where children of all ages know and support each other during lessons, playtimes and activities. Classes are kept deliberately small, with plenty of support in every classroom. Children with a wide range of abilities and interests all flourish here — and every achievement, however small, is celebrated.
Parents often describe the Prep as "a second family" — a place where children are treated with genuine care, where joy and kindness fill the corridors, and where calm purpose underpins each day. Here, children feel safe, valued and confident enough to grow.
A rich, broad curriculum across all core subjects, delivered by specialist teachers in small classes where every child receives real individual attention and support.
