At Park Hill Prep School and Nursery we have an established reputation for providing excellent academic teaching, in a happy and nurturing environment, for 2-11 year olds. With an average class size of 14 children and a maximum of 16, every child is given the support and opportunity to flourish. Our highly qualified and experienced teachers offer a wide range of academic subjects, extending well beyond the National Curriculum. Upon joining Park Hill School each child is given their own iPad ensuring that the benefit that technology brings to the classroom is enjoyed across the curriculum. We believe we must prepare our children for life and work in the 21st century and to facilitate this our staff are qualified Apple Teachers and many hold the prestigious Apple Distinguished Educator Award. The competency of the children to design, create and present through both tradition media and through their iPads has allowed them to take their education home during the period of enforced lockdown with negligible impact on their learning journey. At Park Hill, every pupil is encouraged to develop academically, physically and emotionally. We believe that children who enjoy their school days will achieve their best. We are privileged to be able to use the Kingston Grammar School playing fields at Ditton Fields for Sport, where we particularly enjoy rugby, football, hockey and cricket along with weekly swimming and water skills lessons. We have an outstanding Performing Arts Department and put on 3 productions each year and have recently scooped numerous National Awards at the ISA Drama Competitions and Music Awards in both team and individual categories. We take advantage of our proximity to Richmond Park and are the only school in West London which has an Outdoor Adventure School. With an emphasis on developing self-esteem, collaboration and communication skills, children from Year 2 to Year 6 learn practical outdoor skills from navigation to first aid. We welcome children from all cultural and religious backgrounds. Our pupils leave with confidence, good manners and respect for themselves and others. We hope all our pupils love to be part of the Park Hill family, and go on to make a positive contribution to the world and society.
