Pre Prep & Prep School
Independent Preparatory School in Birmingham
As our pupils journey through the school, we increasingly focus on preparing them for life in secondary school and the extra responsibility and independence that will be required of them. Academic results in selective exams at 11 plus are outstanding with over 70% of our boys typically taking up places at King Edward’s School, Birmingham and the Birmingham’s Consortium Grammar Schools, such as Camp Hill and Five Ways.
Each year a number of our boys receive scholarships for their chosen secondary school and in 2020/21 six boys received scholarships to King Edward’s School, Birmingham including two highly coveted double scholarships for academic achievement and music – much to their parents’ delight.

“The extra-curricular activities programme is excellent, strongly underpinning the school’s belief that informal aspects of learning are equally as important as the formal. Pupils can choose from a wide range to suit all interests, including sport, creative and practical activities after school and at breaktimes.”
The whole school comes together several times a year for joint events such as sports days, the Christmas show and a Summer concert – and we welcome parents’ attendance at these occasions.

We also work closely with Aston Villa Football Club who run coaching sessions at the school.

For those that want to try their hand at music we have a number of bands that rehearse during school hours and anyone is welcome to join, even if they’re just starting out. More senior musicians join the school orchestra which rehearses every week and holds concerts throughout the year.
Our Nature Reserve
As the children get older, the reserve is increasingly used to support the science curriculum as the boys start to understand how vertebrate animals are classified and to learn how different types of plants can be identified.
