What The Good Schools Guide says..
Big emphasis on science, discovery and the great outdoors – hardly surprising in such a stunning location. Girls grow vegetables, watch badgers, deer and foxes in the garden (cameras have been set up to observe the animals) and played a major role in the construction of an impressive Celtic round house in the grounds. Pupils chose the site, marked out the circle and helped to create the wattle walls...
What the school says...
The Prep School is a happy and bright community where our girls can flourish and grow. We understand the importance of 'getting it right' and from those very early days of Nursery right through to Year 6 when your daughter is getting ready for the challenges of Senior School. Our school is fully committed to providing your daughter with the very best opportunities. Set in stunning grounds close to Bath city centre with well-equipped facilities we provide a wealth of learning experiences which include weekly French in Nursery-Year 3, Spanish in Year 4, German in Year 5 and Mandarin in Year 6, Ballet, Music, Drama and Sport all taught by specialist teachers. Visitors often comment on the warmth, fun and sense of purpose that permeates our school. We believe that happy children love to learn and our supportive pastoral care, along with close home/school links, ensures that all the girls are nurtured as we guide them through the first years of their education. 10% discount off full boarding fees for service families. ...Read more

What The Good Schools Guide says
Head of Prep School
Since September 2019, Claire Lilley. Previously head of Sidcot Junior School. Educated at Tunbridge Wells Grammar and Homerton College, Cambridge, where she did a BEd in music. She worked at Sidcot as a year 5 teacher and after a foray down a different career path realised that teaching was what she truly wanted to do, feeling she ‘had come home’ when she returned to Sidcot in 2009. A rapid ascent through the hierarchy culminated in her appointment as head in 2012.
Tall and blonde, with an infectious laugh – ‘you can always hear Ms Lilley,’ said one boy – she is described by pupils as friendly, cheery and ‘really in control but does not have to shout to get her point across.’ Has a young daughter.
