Our vision is to be a school that challenges, develops and nurtures every child, where every child is free to be themselves. We constantly strive to change and to improve, to deliver a modern education that prepares our children for an exciting future, encouraging them to aim high and dream big.
The Life Skills curriculum at Banstead Prep provides children with an opportunity to practise and develop important, transferable life skills. These directly relate to the BPS Learner Powers: Collaboration, Leadership, Independence, Curiosity, Adaptability, Communication, Resilience, and Pride. Through a carefully curated range of exciting lessons and activities, children in Years 3 – 6 develop their ‘learner powers’; these include but are not limited to, design challenges, critical thinking activities, debates, money skills, first aid, and cookery.
At Banstead Prep, we believe our job as teachers is to preserve and protect childhood, and allow our children to enjoy themselves every single day - happy children flourish and happy children learn 😀

Yesterday, we went to Epsom College for a public speaking event with Mrs. Hacker, to deliver a speech about how reading can change the world. When we first arrived, we were met by people who were hosting the event and our parents were there to cheer us on. Going into the hall, we witnessed a small stage with 3 wooden chairs on top. There were 11 other schools competing against us - scary!
When the event started, the judges introduced themselves and the first set of speakers went up to begin their speech. It was really good, so it set our expectations very high... After 6 speeches, we had an interval (and enjoyed delicious biscuits!) then one more speech went by before it was our turn.
We went up on stage and nervously, Rory greeted everyone in the room and started to read the speech. Once he got going, we all relaxed and were able to speak with confidence!
We worried that we wouldn’t win anything as the competition was so high.... however, to our surprise, we won ‘Best Team’.
It was great that the judges gave feedback to every individual and we learnt that it is important to believe in yourself; preparation is key and to enjoy the experience whatever the outcome! ... See MoreSee Less
