HAPPY. CURIOUS. PROUD.

Welcome to Gidea Park Preparatory School and Nursery, an independent, co-educational day school for children aged 2 to 11, where pupils get the best start possible.

Situated in Gidea Park, an attractive, leafy residential area near to Romford in Essex, our school offers a well-rounded, contemporary education concentrating on happy pupils who approach their learning with curiosity and determination. Our boys and girls learn in a nurturing environment with caring and motivated staff helping make the most of their ability.

Established in 1917, Gidea Park Prep is a school where each pupil is valued as an individual and where we have high expectations of what all children can achieve. To do this, we have three aims:

  • We are a happy community
  • We are fearlessly curious
  • We take pride in our learning
