At our Preparatory School, we are committed to giving the best to, and getting the best from, each and every child. We want our boys and girls to enjoy every single minute at our school and to build a desire to pursue and achieve excellence.
Our aim is to develop confident, free-thinking young people who are ambitious for themselves. We take pride in treating each and every child as an individual, for all children have their own aspirations, hopes, needs, interests and potential. These important considerations lie at the very heart of the educational experience that is on offer.
The children are provided with many avenues of learning, not simply from their academic studies but also from a stimulating range of extra-curricular activities. In addition to carefully structured work in the classroom, the Prep School seeks to broaden understanding with an engaging programme of educational trips designed to consolidate pupil learning. As far as possible, we involve pupils in the management and organisation of the school, giving them a chance to assume responsibility and make decisions in a friendly, supportive environment. We believe that it is by taking advantage of these opportunities that each child can find his or her own area of expertise and meet with success. In this way, the confidence of each child grows, enabling individuals to meet bigger challenges in the future undaunted.
Our pupils come to believe that ‘everything is possible’ at the Prep School.
We believe that our Prep School combines the very best of the traditions of an independent school with new and innovative educational techniques and practices. Standards of behaviour at our school and mutual respect are just as important as the very high academic standards to which we aspire.
I can only hint at our school’s ethos and the friendly community it engenders which draws such positive comment from all our visitors. I warmly invite you to come and experience the special quality of Teesside High Preparatory for yourself.
