Our judges would like you to tell them the story of your school during 2024-25; share your pride in where you work and explain why the children in your care enjoy an unparalleled student experience. Give us some examples of what you are describing and share any data which supports your entry (but please avoid lists!). Most of all, give us a sense of school life as it would appear to our judges if they were lucky enough to walk through your doors. 

These are the key questions to answer in your entry: please make sure your entry focuses on your role as a great Pre-Prep school (rather than just a great school).

Why do you think your school is special? What is it about the life of your school community which makes it stand out from other pre-prep schools? What do you believe are the signal successes and achievements of your school which qualify it to be considered ‘best in class’ and worthy of this award? (Circa 200 words)

Why do you think your pre-prep provision has met the specific requirements of your young students in 2024-25 and provided them with a positive school experience? Tell us about any particular projects and initiatives which the school undertook this year of which you are particularly proud. (Circa 150 words)

Tell us about the essential values of your school and the impact these have on your students; how do you prepare students for the next stage in their educational careers? (circa 150 words)
