Prep school is short for 'preparatory',
since the pupils are being prepared for senior school. On the evidence,
there is no doubt that an independent prep school education provides the
best foundation in the early and middle years (0-13) to maximise children's
future educational opportunities preparing them for senior school, university
entrance and beyond.

Essentially prep schools are the middle and primary schools of the independent
sector. Many also have pre-prep and nursery sections and so can take children
from 2 years old. Pupils will leave prep schools to join senior schools
at age 11, 12 or 13+. There is great flexibility in the system, which
means that the varying needs of individual children can be met.
