Inside our
Preparatory School
This is where our girls start developing an ability to think critically and creatively and grow their self-confidence.
Head’s welcome
It is a pleasure to welcome you to St Cyprian’s Preparatory School.
This is a place where girls are known, supported and encouraged to grow in confidence and purpose.
Ours is a school community in which each girl is valued for who she is, and where she is guided to discover her strengths, pursue her passions and develop her courage to try new things. We believe a strong education is shaped not only by academic learning, but also by the formation of character.
Our school and Christian values guide our relationships and the way we approach learning and life together. Our academic programme is designed to nurture curiosity and a genuine love of learning.
We believe learning is most meaningful when girls are active participants. In this way, they begin to develop the habits of thoughtful, independent students who are able to approach challenges with creativity and perseverance.
By creating an environment of encouragement and high expectations, we aim to ensure that every girl feels both supported and challenged, supporting her to develop confidence in her own abilities.
We hope that during their time at St Cyprian’s, our girls will develop not only a love of learning, but also the character and confidence to engage thoughtfully with the world, lead with integrity and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Academic approach
Our academic programme encourages students to embark proactively on their own distinctive learning journeys.
Our educational philosophy is that through opportunity and challenge, each student has the chance to explore the world and develop her unique talent in a safe environment. We focus on the skills necessary to develop critical, passionate, life-long learners.
