Welcome From The Head

What Does the Head Say About White House School’s Vision and Values?

It is an exciting time to be at, or joining, the White House. With recent expansion, growth and development, the school offers greater breadth of experience and sharing of ideas, with the family ethos permeating everything we do.

Joe Knight

It was this ambition and culture that attracted me, as it does many of our parents, to this special school, and for this reason alone you need to come and see how the school embodies this in all we do.

At The White House Prep, every child is nurtured and stretched to be their “best self” through learning in a stimulating and happy environment. The White House seamlessly blends an enriching and well thought-out academic curriculum, with a multitude of extra-curricular events and traditional manners and values. Our children thrive and flourish through experiential learning, school trips, enriching extra-curricular activities set alongside the rigours of a stimulating curriculum. Reading is the bedrock of everything we do and so is creative thinking and writing. However, we are forward thinking and innovative having introduced “Enterprise”, “Choice” and “Nurture”, programmes which provide a real diversity of experience for the children from Reception to Year 6. We major in public speaking and performances making it possible for as many children as possible to have this opportunity – every child performs in our major celebrations such as our School Play, Nativity and Harvest Festival and musical recitals are plentiful. The children gain so much confidence from these experiences which makes them hungry for more. The end result, which you can see on any visit to the school, is confident, eloquent, interesting and happy young learners who have a natural curiosity and hunger to learn and grow. Our academic programme culminates with our 11+ process which sees our boys and girls confident and bursting to join the most prestigious senior schools in London and the home counties.

Come and visit to see and feel for yourself the energy and happiness in learning that fills our unique school, we would be delighted to show you all that we are so proud of at our school.
