Pre-Prep
At Dean Close St John’s School, we believe our Pre-Prep provides the best foundation for your child—academically, socially, and personally. Our passionate and dedicated staff ensure every child feels welcomed, supported, and excited about learning from the very start of their school journey.
We pride ourselves on knowing each child individually, fostering an environment where pupils feel confident to explore, try new things, and take risks—key elements of healthy development and growth.
Comprehensive Wraparound Care
Our fees include all wraparound care, offering flexibility and convenience for families. This includes drop-off from 7.55am and breakfast from 8:00 am, and after lessons finish at 3:30 pm, children can participate in a wide variety of clubs and activities until 5.50 pm—all included.
Dean Close St John’s Pre-Prep is more than a school; it’s a nurturing and inspiring environment where your child can thrive and develop a lifelong love of learning.
The small class size has benefited our daughter both in terms of focused attention from teaching staff – hearing her read daily – and in her forming really close relationships quicker than she might have in a larger group. As parents, it’s great to feel such a sense of community with other mums and dads and with the school itself.
