Believing that children learn best within a happy and secure environment where they feel valued and respected, particular emphasis is placed upon pastoral care at the Prep School. Each child has a form tutor who has primary responsibility for the social, emotional and academic welfare of the individual child. The School also operates a Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) programme designed to encourage confidence, reflection and empathy in our pupils.

Discussion, education in social relations, self-respect and concern for others lie at the heart of the curriculum.

Additional support, if this is required, is available through the School counsellor and the learning support department.

We also operate a mentoring system where the older children volunteer to look after children new to the School.

Home and School
Close liaison with parents is a striking feature of the School. The Parents' Gild, which includes all parents in both the Prep and Latymer Upper School, provides invaluable support to both schools through fund-raising and advice and feed-back.
