Welcome to The Kingsley Preparatory School: Royal Leamington Spa’s best kept secret!

Our superbly positioned Victorian site in the north of the town effectively houses our Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 classrooms in one location.  Valuing the traditions of the past and embracing the best of modern education, the Preparatory School is a happy and stimulating place. 

I am proud of the educational values to which we aspire. Our pupils consistently achieve well above national expectations at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.  While closely linked to the National Curriculum, lessons are broad and balanced, encouraging independent learning and the pursuit of excellence on every level.  It is not just our high academic standards for which we are renowned; we are also proud of our sporting, musical and artistic achievements.   Pupils are taught in small classes by a team of experienced and dedicated teachers, who inspire a love of learning along with good manners, social skills and an enthusiasm for new challenges.  Our Year 6 girls leave us for our Senior School as confident, well-rounded young people fully prepared to take on the opportunities ahead.

Our Kingsley parents will tell you about the positive buzz emanating from the Preparatory School all day; about children eager to enter school in the mornings; and about high standards of teaching and learning marked by a sense of adventure.  Our pupils are very special: they have a real sense of pride in the school and they are secure, happy and willing to have a go.  Independence and curiosity are encouraged and nurtured right through from Foundation 1 to Year 6.

Our remarkable educational heritage has inspired pride and loyalty in generations of pupils for over 125 years.  We are developing and evolving and I am sure you will capture a sense of this when you visit the school.  I welcome the opportunity to meet you and your child and to share my passion for the excellent education that we can offer.
