Homefield Preparatory School

“I don’t believe we could have found a better school in the country to bring out the best in both our sons”.

Homefield is a Preparatory school for 400 boys aged 2 ½ to 13, and 40 staff, housed in an extensive purpose-built complex complemented by a spacious state of the art Early Years’ Unit and a 2-acre adjoining playing field.

Rated by The Sunday Times Parent Power as “Amongst the best performing schools in Greater London”, Homefield School has cemented its powerful academic reputation by securing a 76% pass rate at level 5 in Key Stage 2 examinations this year, and has continued to achieve a 100% pass rate at Common Entrance to 36 senior schools over the last 10 years. 14 awards for Art, Music, Sport, All-round and Academic achievements were won in 2006.

The school is renowned for its intimacy and family atmosphere, small class sizes, the fulfilment of individual potential, the openness of communication, the provision of specialist teaching at the earliest appropriate opportunity (French, ICT, Music and Sport from the Foundation stage), its commitment to best practice and its all round academic, musical, dramatic, sporting and artistic achievements. The recent ISI inspection report, now posted on the school’s website, states that “the care that the staff give to the well-being of the boys is outstanding”, “the boys are happy, valued and challenged but not pressured” and compliments the “extensive and varied programme of extra-curricular activities”.

The school has county or national representatives in table-tennis, squash, tennis, athletics, swimming, soccer, rugby, cricket and chess.

Awareness of others is encouraged and the pupils are involved in many fund-raising charity events, raising over £6,000 last year.

Learning support is available for children with special needs. A wide range of opportunities is planned to extend gifted pupils such as World Class Maths Tests and membership of the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth.

We offer academic, sporting, art and music scholarships as well as the occasional bursaries.

Daily minibuses run to and from Wimbledon and other areas.

A breakfast and after school club is now available.
