What the school says...
Kew Green Preparatory School was opened in 2004 by London Preparatory Schools Ltd, the owners of Ravenscourt Park Preparatory School.

Originally from Gloucestershire, she feels ‘the London scene can become a bit academically warped and I want to bring some breadth to it, focusing on what the child is achieving and becoming, with some cosiness’. She’s well on the way, judging from her large, comfortable office with colourful wild bird wallpaper, framed...
