We've reviewed this school • Unlock to access

We struggled to find anyone with a less than positive view of TPS - parent or pupil. One boy who joined in year 6 claimed, ‘My three years here have been better than seven years in my last school.’ This is a truly happy, nurturing school that challenges children at the right levels in a calm, safe environment. The community is grounded and sets children up well for their lives beyond the TPS school gates.

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.
