Harvington Prep School and Nursery

Harvington is a wonderful school. The individual child is at the centre of everything it does. It does not only select the brightest children and get good results it gets the best out of every child. Class sizes are small and it is a relatively small school but it is a big family. The facilities and space are fantastic for a prep school, lunches are cooked fresh on site, the drama and music departments in particular are outstanding, clubs are diverse and change regularly. There are regular trips including one to France and a residential trip in Year 6. There is a swimming gala, netball matches, a school play. Everything they do is inclusive, it is a school where your child will fulfill their academic potential in an environment that will build their confidence and encourage them to be individuals true to themselves. Unlike some schools it is not a boot camp which is only interested in results and with no pastoral care. You will not be asked to get your child tutored or remove them if they are not keeping up, they will be given the individual attention they need to catch up and progress.
We were given expert guidance on the 11+ process and my daughter received offers of places from 5 senior schools. We couldn't have been happier with Harvington and although we were sad to leave the school it has done it's job because my daughter was prepared for the challenges ahead, she has made the move to an excellent senior school seamlessly and continues to thrive.

loved it

A school with ambition for all of its pupils. Great school that identifies the potential of its pupils and develops them to achieve at the highest academic level through its highly qualified professional teaching staff. The head is very passionate about the school. Absolutely delightful place. It is like a small family. My two girls are very happy there.

Harvington is a very warm and friendly school. My daughter is very happy and finds lessons fun and inspiring.
