What The Good Schools Guide says..

Open the door and the light, airy kingdom of the 4 to 7-year-olds is revealed. ‘It’s about being loved, nurtured, feeling secure and taking risks,’ says pre-prep head. Freeflow rules outside with communal areas for all while reception, year 1 and year 2 each have side-by-side plant-filled little gardens, with a secret leafy nature trail at the back, venue for (low) risk activities like building dens.

Like every other London prep head offering both the 11+ and 13+, he’s reviewing the situation, though says there’s no danger of losing common entrance, as long as leading senior schools (notably Hampton) retain 13+ entry.

Special Education Needs

Twickenham Preparatory School caters for pupils with a specific learning difficulty within the average range of ability. As the School is academic and feeds many highly selective senior schools we do not take pupils with above average learning difficulties. Pupils are screened for literacy related problems from Year 2. Where a specific learning difficulty of a minor nature is identified the appropriate course of action is made in close consultation with parents.
