At the Ursuline Preparatory School Ilford we aim to give each child the best possible start in life. As well as having extremely high and rigorous academic standards along with high expectations of behaviour, we provide pastoral support appropriate to the needs of each unique child in our care.

We believe that providing opportunities to develop one's own individual unique talents and realise one's potential to the fullest, are necessary in order to enable this ethos of service for others. We provide a friendly, secure, happy and stimulating environment in order to facilitate this. We are proud of each and every one of our pupils. Mission Statement
