About Us

Independent Education for boys and girls aged 3 to 11

Making growing up amazing!

Chesham Prep is a thriving and happy co-educational school – where children blossom and achieve outstanding results in a dynamic, nurturing learning environment. Dedicated to giving every child the opportunity to succeed, the school has an enviable local reputation for the academic results it achieves in its unique semi-rural location.

Children thrive through the combination of small, focused classroom sizes, visionary teaching and the freedom to explore in wide open green spaces. The pupils’ excitement and energy for learning and experimenting is palpable throughout the school across all activities. We enable them to achieve outstanding results at 11+ and ensure they are equipped with critical independent learning skills for the next phase of their education.

We offer:

First rate progressive teaching staff providing go-getting, pupil-centred teaching
Small class sizes to bring out the best in every child
Great success in helping families achieve their first choice of destination school – located close to a range of sought-after Grammar and Independent schools
Outstanding facilities, set in 7 acres of open green space in the Chilterns’ countryside, that enhance pupils’ learning abilities and sense of well-being
A unique sense of community

There is a special sense of belonging at Chesham Prep which is hard to describe but can be felt by all our pupils, their families and staff, past and present.

We look forward to welcoming you, for you to experience it for yourselves.
