Smaller Classes & Individual Teaching
High staff-to-pupil ratios and smaller teaching groups, especially in Maths and English, mean children make rapid academic progress. Teachers can also provide significantly more individual attention.
Extensive Extra Curricular Programme
Learning at Lingfield Prep happens everywhere! With more than 60 clubs and activities to choose from, children can learn new sports, build skills, challenge their bodies and minds and develop their talents. Whether a child is sporty, creative, musical or academic, there is something for everyone.

Beautiful Countryside Setting
The Prep School is located on the outskirts of the beautiful village of Lingfield in Surrey, set amidst acres of fields and woodland. With extensive outdoor play areas, a forest school, orchards, playing fields and a pond, the children have fresh air and space to roam. It is an inspiring place to learn and grow.
