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

Pupil progress and achievement at Gidea Park Prep is consistently above the national average across the curriculum. From Nursery upward, our pupils are given the skills and knowledge they need to successfully tackle both the 11+ and entrance exams to selective independent schools.
