Prep (Age 7-11)
Building confidence, independence and ambition
In the Prep years, children at Prebendal develop the confidence, knowledge and skills to thrive — both academically and personally.
A strong academic foundation
Our curriculum is ambitious and engaging, designed to challenge and support every child.
Pupils develop strong skills across core subjects, alongside a broad and balanced education that encourages curiosity and independent thinking.
Individual attention, exceptional progress
With small class sizes, every child is known and supported.
Teachers tailor their approach to ensure each pupil is challenged appropriately, helping them to achieve their full potential.
Opportunities beyond the classroom
From music and performance to sport and creative activities, pupils benefit from a rich and varied school experience.
As a Cathedral Choir School, music continues to play a central role, building confidence and discipline.
Developing character and independence
The Prep years are a time for growth.
Children develop resilience, responsibility and self-belief, supported by strong pastoral care and a close-knit school community.
Preparing for the next stage
Prebendal prepares pupils for a wide range of leading senior schools, with pathways tailored to each individual.
Children leave confident, capable and ready for the future.
