Twickenham Prep School

Additional Information

Nestled in the leafy surroundings of Hampton, Twickenham Prep School (TPS) is a leading independent, co-educational prep school for children aged 4–13.

We understand that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions families will make. The environment you choose will shape your child’s education, nurture their character and lay the foundations for a confident and successful future.

At TPS, we are committed to delivering an outstanding independent education within a warm and welcoming community which cherishes each individual child. In a rapidly changing world, we believe it is vital to nurture adaptable, creative, and resilient young people—while fostering empathy, kindness, and a strong moral compass.

A central part of this commitment is our comprehensive wellbeing programme, Bounce, which supports every child’s emotional development alongside their academic progress.

We offer a true foundation for life—encouraging a love of learning and inspiring pupils to embody our core values: to be Calm, Courageous, Courteous, and Considerate.

Our focus is on nurturing happy, confident children, supported by strong friendships and dedicated teachers. TPS is a place where every child feels safe, valued and inspired—a truly happy place to grow.

With small class sizes and specialist teaching in dedicated facilities, our pupils consistently achieve outstanding academic results. Yet education at TPS goes far beyond the classroom. Our rich co-curricular programme—including trips, competitions, sports fixtures, performing arts and music—ensures that every child has the opportunity to discover and develop their unique talents.

We are proud to offer distinctive programmes that set TPS apart. Our Thinking Skills curriculum encourages curiosity, problem-solving, and independent learning, while the Junior Duke Awards provide pupils with opportunities to develop resilience, responsibility, and essential life skills through a wide range of engaging challenges.

As pupils move into Senior Prep, we are delighted that girls are now able to stay with us or join at Year 7, further strengthening our inclusive and dynamic community at this important stage. Through our PSB (Pre-Senior Baccalaureate), pupils develop independence, leadership, communication and collaboration skills, equipping them with the life skills they need both in and beyond the classroom.

As children prepare for their next steps, we work closely with families to identify the right senior school—whether day or boarding. With a strong record of 11+ and 13+ success, we take a personalised approach to every child’s journey. Our Headmaster and academic team provide tailored guidance to ensure each pupil moves on with confidence and ambition.

Our main entry points are at 4+, 7+, and 11+, with occasional places available in other year groups.

We warmly invite you to visit Twickenham Prep School and experience our vibrant and inspiring community first-hand.
