Welcome to our Prep School
By exploring the information on this page, we hope you gain an insight into life in our Prep School WGS. There is also the opportunity to schedule a personalised virtual ‘meet and greet’ with staff throughout the school which our Admissions Team will organise on your behalf.
Our Prep School is an integral part of the School, meaning even our youngest children have access to many opportunities the Senior School offers. Small class sizes, extensive facilities, and our close-knit community enrich their knowledge and educational journey, making our Prep School a great place to learn and grow.
