Preparatory

Our Prep School provides a supportive environment where your child can develop an independent and inquisitive mind.

Welcome to the Prep Department at Teesside High School, a warm and vibrant community where every child is celebrated as an individual and supported to achieve their full potential. At the heart of our philosophy is our ‘One School – One Journey’ approach. We believe in the power of a continuous, high-quality education, where children can grow, learn and thrive within the same nurturing environment from their earliest days in Reception all the way through to Sixth Form. This seamless pathway allows us to build enduring relationships and provide consistent, dedicated support, ensuring every student benefits from a shared ethos and a coherent, ambitious approach to learning at every stage of their development.

From our youngest learners in Reception up to our Year 6 pupils, we nurture potential, encouraging children to be confident, embrace new challenges and stretch their abilities. We are a school with a proud academic reputation, where lessons are exciting and engaging, and progress is celebrated. Beyond the classroom, we are equally passionate about individualised pastoral care. Our values help pupils develop into confident, kind and empathetic human beings with a positive attitude to learning, equipping them with the skills and attributes needed for Senior School, university and the world beyond.

Exceptional learning in the heart of Teesside.

At Teesside High School, our small class sizes, outstanding pastoral care and high academic standards have led to us being recognised as one of the leading co-educational independent schools in the North East.

While we are based in Stockton-on-Tees, we have a wide catchment area with a private bus service running throughout Teesside and the North East region, covering Yarm, Hartlepool, Darlington, North Yorkshire, and surrounding villages.
