Welcome to Kew College Prep

Welcome to Kew College Prep school, a co-educational independent prep school and nursery for children aged 3-11 years. We are located in the heart of Kew, near Richmond in South West London. We believe our prep school and nursery offer children the best possible start in life, fostering skills and attitudes that will stay with them long after they’ve left us. We value each of our wonderful children and are proud to be part of their lives.

Why choose Kew College Prep?

At Kew College Prep school, we firmly believe in unlocking every child’s potential. Their individual talents and amazing qualities are recognised and developed from starting with us in Nursery. By the time they leave us at the end of Year 6 they have a firm sense of their own strengths.

Kew College Prep β€˜Together’

Over the last 2 weeks, we have welcomed our first Pets As Therapy dogs, Benji and Mary, to Kew College Prep. Years 1 and 2 spent some time reading to and stroking the lovely dogs, who enjoyed their visits very much and were happily wagging their tails! There are a wide range of benefits that come from reading to dogs, including improving literacy skills and wellbeing, developing confidence, interest and enjoyment of reading and boosting self-esteem. We can’t wait for their next visit! πŸΆπŸΎπŸ“š
