Keble Prep is a forward-thinking independent school committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive and academically rigorous environment for children aged 3 to 13. Rooted in a rich heritage, Keble Prep combines traditional values with innovative teaching methods to prepare pupils for lifelong learning and personal growth.
Since becoming fully co-educational in 2023, the School continues to champion diversity, collaboration and the development of confident, compassionate individuals ready to thrive in a changing world.
The academic staff comprises 20 qualified graduate teachers, 8 classroom assistants and 2 Learning Support teachers. The buildings are well maintained and facilities are regularly updated. The school has an ambitious ICT development programme.
The average class size in the school is 16–20, although many classes are taught in half-groups and sets as the pupils progress through the school. Pupils follow the EYFS Curriculum in Pre-Prep. General subject teachers cover the academic curriculum in Years 1 to 4, with subject specialists following on from Year 5 onwards. The National Curriculum is used as a guide to curriculum development. Art, Music, PE, ICT, PSHE and Games are introduced at appropriate stages and are included within the timetable. Pupils are encouraged to learn a musical instrument, sing in the choir, perform in plays and concerts and play an active part in the wide range of sports on offer.
Football, rugby, netball, hockey and cricket are the major team games. Further opportunities exist to participate in swimming, basketball, athletics, cross country and tennis. There is a wide range of lunchtime and after-school activities and clubs, including drama, gardening, chess, eco and karate. There is also a forest school, numerous educational outings and four residential trips.
From 2025, we are introducing a small change to the admissions process. Children will now be registered for Nursery and Reception, but places will not be offered until November prior to entry. These offers will be subject to a satisfactory 'Meet and Greet' session with the Head of Early Years and the Headmaster.
Pupils wishing to join the school at a later stage in Year 1 or above are assessed in order to ensure that they will fit comfortably into their new surroundings.
Pupils are prepared for entry to senior independent schools through Common Entrance and Scholarship examinations at 11+ and 13+. The school has a strong record of success in placing pupils in the senior school which is right for them. In recent years, these schools include Mill Hill, Highgate, City of London, UCS, Haberdashers’ Aske's, Haileybury, St Albans, St Columba's, Aldenham, St Margaret's, Mount House and Westminster.
