Prep School
Welcome from the Headmaster
BCPS is an all-action school, well known for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere and its high standard of pastoral care. As the Good Schools Guide says: “This school seems such a fun place to be – the corridors are bright and buzzing, the children are engaged and talk nineteen to the dozen!” We prioritise the children’s enjoyment of school, the fulfilling of their differing potential, the provision of a very broad range of opportunities and the building of warm and strong character.
Features of the school include:
- ‘The quality of pupils’ learning, attitudes and behaviour is very good and is a strength of the school.’ ‘The teaching is characterised by high expectations which often lead to very good levels of achievement and to local or national honours.’ (Independent Schools Inspectorate 2005)
- One of the strongest sports departments in the region. Currently, we are the U13 county netball champions for the seventh year in a row and also hold the national (IAPS) U12s netball title. BCPS has recently held the county titles in rugby and cricket and also excels in swimming and football
- Exceptional music with three choirs, two orchestras, a concert band and various groups for guitars, strings, wind and percussion. The department is supported by 32 visiting music teachers and is renowned for its high quality concerts, musicals and recitals
- Many opportunities for dance and drama, including a thriving programme for LAMDA coaching (speech and drama awards)
- Very strong DT and art departments with an impressive track record of success
- Around 80 extracurricular clubs/activities at lunchtime and after school with a huge range of trips and house competitions
