About Us
Growing up in a close-knit, nurturing environment to the age of thirteen allows children to remain children that little bit longer. They are given opportunities to try new things without fear of failure, they have time to laugh and enjoy themselves, and are allowed to develop at their own pace and build their self-confidence in safe and caring surroundings.

Testimonials
"We cannot speak highly enough of Prestfelde and all that it stands for and would have no hesitation in recommending the school to anyone – your children cannot fail to thrive in such an all-inclusive school who treat every student as an individual, drawing on the child’s strengths to improve their weaknesses."
"From the headteacher, through to all the teachers and every member of staff, all have such pride and passion for their individual roles within the school community, and a clear focus on the individual development of each child, and it really shows. Simply put, Prestfelde have “got it right”, we asked our son what was good about Prestfelde, he simply said “everything”."
"James just told me he was really pleased to be picked to talk to some parents on a tour today (rather excitedly by the sound of it!). It made me think back to our original tour and a reminder that Prestfelde has lived up to all expectations and more. So just wanted to drop you a little thank you for all that you did to help James move. He’s a very happy boy!"
The Hall family
“I really enjoyed my time at the school and because of this Prestfelde will always be somewhere that is incredibly special to me. It was a place that allowed me to develop my confidence and to explore a whole range of academic and extracurricular opportunities that have taken me to so many different places in my life. The skills that I learnt have been invaluable in helping me as I have got older, and it is because of the overwhelmingly positive experience I had at Prestfelde that I now work in a prep school myself.”
