Welcome to Prep

Finding the perfect learning environment for your child is about more than academic success – it is about discovering a place where they feel supported, encouraged and understood.

Within the Prep department at Bridgewater School, we combine academic excellence with a warm and nurturing ethos that prioritises kindness, inclusivity and personal growth. It is an environment where children instinctively feel at home, and where they can thrive as confident and compassionate individuals.

Life in Prep at Bridgewater School

We feel it would be very hard to find a school anywhere, for any price, at which our children's individual educational, emotional, social and physical development could have been nurtured in such a balanced, personal manner.

The quality of teaching is excellent, but it is their skill in adapting to suit individual pupils that has amazed us.

I could not have asked for a better start for my children and know that they will forever benefit from this outstanding start in life.

As a parent, it is so reassuring to know your child is safe and happy at school especially when times are challenging. Myself and my daughter have never felt worried of her attending school and this tells me what a wonderful and loving environment she is in.
