Children quickly adjust to Chesham Prep School. They are nurtured and cared for in an environment which supports and encourages the gregarious child as much as the shy child, so that all may continue to grow in courage and confidence. The school is full of happy, purposeful children.
By the time they leave us, the children have matured and gained in confidence and acquired the knowledge, skills and understanding that will take them comfortably into the next stage of their schooling. The vast majority of our children move on to excellent local grammar schools or independent senior schools.
We recognise that, as adults, it is our duty to set firm boundaries for good behaviour. From the early years upwards, high quality, caring teachers ensure that children understand what is expected and that they are prepared for the sometimes difficult choices which they may have to make as they grow older.
Our children are encouraged to enjoy their successes and celebrate their achievements in many ways: house points, Headteacher’s awards, cups and certificates, displays of work and public acknowledgement of successes in our School Bulletin.
