A warm welcome to St Andrew’s – a dynamic, innovative prep school where we prepare our pupils for the fast pace and ever changing 21st century while maintaining the finest of prep school traditions.
We provide a firm academic grounding across our broad curriculum and ensure that every lesson and learning opportunity stimulates, encourages and engages the children. We believe lessons learned in the classroom are as important as those learned outside – on the sports field, at the beach or woodlands classroom, on the stage, on school trips, or in the boarding house.
Pastoral care, pupil wellbeing and happiness are at the heart of everything we do; and the children are at the centre of all our decision-making because, quite simply, we believe happy, healthy children thrive and achieve.
AIMS AND VALUES
BREADTH, EXCELLENCE AND INTEGRITY-The primary aim of St Andrew’s Prep is to equip the children to lead happy, fulfilled lives in a safe and healthy environment. We offer a broad education that provides opportunities for every pupil in all aspects of school life: academic, sport, performing and creative arts and social.
We strive for a culture of acknowledgement rather than judgement, in which each child is valued for what he or she can offer. By treating children as individuals with particular needs, interests and strengths, not only do the pupils gain personal success but they learn to be open, honest, reflective and willing to give things a go without the fear of failure.
We value our heritage through our House system, our chapel, our uniform and our Old Androvian Society but we are not afraid of change and we grasp new opportunities. St Andrew’s is a proper ‘prep’ school; we prepare children for life at senior school and actively promote choice at 13 so that each child can enter the senior school that is best for them.
MORAL CHARACTER-At St Andrew’s Prep we work with the parents to develop pupils of strong character who are confident but not arrogant; pupils who are comfortable with formality and informality; who celebrate the successes of others as well as being proud of their own achievements; and who are ready to extend courtesy and kindness to those about them.
Staff recently worked with the Prep School Council of pupils to discuss the traits needed to produce such morally aware characters and, together, we chose the following as values for all Androvians to possess
These values are promoted through our rewards and sanctions policies, assemblies, Chapel services, PSHE (Personal Social Health and Economic Education), our Mind Matters programme and, most importantly, the human relationships and partnerships that are nurtured between the children, staff and parents.
