Oswestry School Prep
The Oswestry School Journey Begins in the Prep School...
Children learn best from experiences sparked by their interests and designed to challenge their development. Our nurturing environment goes beyond academics, fostering growth within the classroom, beyond its walls, and within each child's heart and mind. Oswestry School Prep embodies this philosophy by valuing and respecting every child’s right to support and success. We help them flourish with their individual strengths, instilling a gentle confidence in the value they bring to their community and the world beyond.
I recently trekked over to visit Oswestry Prep and came across a gem of a school. The staff I met were utterly delightful - vibrant, lively and generally lovely - and as soon as one walks through the door one is struck by happy positivity. I would have loved my own children to have attended such a place.

Reception
In our Reception class, we follow the Early Years Statutory Framework to ensure structured play activities excite and engage, developing fundamental lifelong skills. Through play-centred activities, children gain the confidence to explore, invent, and question. Even our youngest students embrace Oswestry Virtues and Values, learning collaboration, independence, and resilience through fun activities that balance success and failure.
Key Stage 1 and 2
From here, children progress through Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, deepening their understanding of how our school Values and Virtues enhance their learning and character. Recognising the impact of these skills on themselves and others from an early age provides a unique opportunity to 'get ahead of the pack' and indeed, Learn for Life.
Prep school pupils benefit from varied and innovative teaching and work well, focussing on their learning tasks. Senior pupils apply themselves well and appreciate the support they receive to extend their knowledge.
