Gidea Park Preparatory School and Nursery is a very special school. Founded in 1917, we have been educating, nurturing and challenging children for over 100 years. Children are at the heart of everything we do; our small classes and school environment truly allow us to know our pupils as individuals and tailor our teaching and curriculum accordingly. We have high expectations of our pupils’ academic progress and personal development and work closely with our parents to ensure that all our pupils get the very most from their time with us.
The school has an enviable academic record and a long tradition of sending pupils to grammar and selective independent schools. But there is a great deal more to Gidea Park Prep than that. We believe that happy children make better progress and to achieve this, children need to be understood, listened to and valued.
The School has been part of the Inspired Learning Group since 2020 and has seen significant investment since then. All pupils from Reception to Year 6 have the use of 1:1 iPad devices and a new nursery was opened in January 2022, which now accepts pupils from age 6 months, and is a 51-week-a-year setting.
