Independent Schools Association
Welcome to Buxlow Prep School
I hope you will enjoy a brief tour around our school on this website, and that it will encourage you to come and visit us. You will have a meeting with me, the Headmistress and I will show you around the school and you will meet the teachers and see the pupils at work.
For over eighty years Buxlow Preparatory School has been renowned for the high quality of education that it offers to boys and girls and we all work together within a small caring community to develop academic potential to the full.
A strong system of pastoral care is in place and with so many families having children of different ages in the school, many of our visitors have commented on the school's friendly family atmosphere. This means that you can leave your child each day in the knowledge that they will be safe and cared for.
At Buxlow we believe that by encouraging each child to develop their talents, they will flourish and gain the knowledge, confidence and skills that will stand them in good stead for their future years.
I am extremely proud of the way in which Buxlow School has grown and developed during my time here.
The ISI Inspection in 2008 found Buxlow School to be outstanding.
“The high quality education provided by the school successfully meets its aims and philosophy” and pupils are well educated and “achieve good and frequently outstanding standards in relation to their age and ability”.
The inspectors also found that “the spiritual, moral social and cultural development of the pupils is outstanding".
They also found "there is a sense of community and respect for others” and “ that staff provide a supportive atmosphere in which pastoral care is outstanding and every pupil feels respected and valued”.
To visit the school, please call to arrange an appointment

Headmistress
