Welcome to Kensington Prep School
I have great pleasure in welcoming you to Kensington Prep. The Kensington Prep ethos and values pervade all that we do and we are dedicated to creating a happy, secure and purposeful environment in which young children can flourish.
Academic standards are high, but we believe it is equally important to offer our girls a rich educational experience with inspirational teachers who create a nurturing happy atmosphere for which Kensington Prep is renowned. Sensitivity, mutual respect and kindness are key values throughout the school.
We hope you’ll enjoy watching these mini-films about life at Kensington Prep.
Day in the Life of Reception
This film follows a day in the life of girls in Reception. You can see all the learning and activities they enjoy and what parents say about joining the school.
Reception go to Forest School
Girls love learning in the outdoors and exploring nature on their trips to Holland Park as you can see from this short film.
Meet our Author in Residence
We thought your daughter might enjoy hearing our Author in Residence read a short snippet from one of her children’s books ‘An Owl called Star’. Helen Peters is a renowned children’s author and visits the school to give girls workshops on creative writing and illustration too.
Head's Welcome
It’s wonderful to be the head of such a vibrant, successful and forward-thinking school.
Mrs Hulme-McKibbin, Head
Sports Day
Our Sports Day is great fun – we had cameras rolling to capture all the action last summer.
Music Concerts
A high point in our school year is our School Summer Concert at Cadogan Hall in Chelsea. Unfortunately, the concert couldn’t go ahead last year due to national guidelines, but do take a look at this highlights video of the year group performances we put on, which were live-streamed to parents.
School Tour
We hoped you enjoyed your recent tour and meeting some of our girls. If you want to take another look around our facilities, watch this video and see how girls explain what school life is like. Head, Mrs Hulme-McKibbin also explains the school’s approach and values.
What we love about Ken Prep is that the girls are articulate, warm and energetic (far from robotic!).
Parent
Our girls learn without limits, have high aspirations and are encouraged to be curious, creative, bold thinkers, to take calculated risks and not to be afraid of making mistakes on the way to success. We are growing great minds and preparing girls for a world that requires courage and flexibility.
Why choose Kensington Prep School
Girls spend fulfilling years here, developing a love of learning and close friendships. We will help them to become confident, independent, caring young people. As they move up the school we want to make sure they are thoroughly ready and prepared for the next stage of their education and the top flight schools to which they win places.
Our facilities are spectacular and there is so much on offer.
