Stratford Preparatory School is a 2-11yrs Co-Educational Independent Day School in the heart of Stratford-Upon-Avon. The school first opened in 1989 and quickly established itself as an exceptional preparatory school. Since then, Stratford Preparatory School has upheld a family orientated, caring environment where children excel academically. Known for the outstanding success rate at 11+. Stratford Preparatory School achieved this through being proudly small, excellent quality teaching and knowing each child.
In May 2023 Stratford Preparatory School was acquired by Newman Schools Ltd and is the sister school to Arnold Lodge in Leamington Spa. Significant investment has allowed the school to go from strength to strength and continue to serve the children in the school community wonderfully. From our youngest pupils in Nursery through to our eldest in Prep 6, Stratford Prep continues its tradition of providing a high-quality education in an environment where pupils are happy, safe and confident.
The main school offers a broad, balanced learning plan adapted to the individual needs of the children using traditional teaching methods and with specific reference to the National Curriculum. Children are prepared for a range of senior schools including grammar (11+) and independent school entrance examinations.
The school offers a high level of pastoral care and attention to personal development. Our Physical Education program offers a variety of exciting activities, including hockey, football, tag rugby, cross-country, tennis, cricket, netball, and athletics. Students also enjoy weekly indoor swimming lessons. Our teachers and coaches take a child-centred approach, focusing on creating meaningful experiences both on the field and in the classroom. This ensures every activity feels special, memorable, and tailored to each child’s unique journey.
There are opportunities for the children to learn a variety of musical instruments with peripatetic teachers. The school has a choir and an orchestra.
The Headteacher is pleased to provide further details and meet prospective parents.
