St Andrew's Prep is a non-selective co-educational IAPS day and boarding prep, which prides itself on breadth and excellence. The school was founded in 1877 and is one of the longest established and highly respected prep schools in the area.
Located in the coastal town of Eastbourne, East Sussex with easy access to London, the school is set in twelve acres of landscaped grounds and sports fields. The beach is a five-minute stroll away and a number of classrooms overlook the South Downs National Park. With nature on its front door, St Andrew's offers a unique Woodlands Classroom and Beach School which provide opportunities to complement classroom study with outdoor learning.
The school's talented staff are dedicated to preparing their pupils for our fast changing, high-tech world; giving them lifelong-learning and problem-solving skills alongside leadership and teamwork opportunities and, perhaps most important of all, the tools to become good citizens.
The school's boarding house, Colstocks, is in the heart of the school. The House is lively and full of fun but also offers its boarders a place to relax and enjoy the company of friends from around the world.
The children are taught to embrace learning, show ambition and accept appropriate challenges while the staff nurture the importance of values, responsibility and community through the strong pastoral system. Pastoral care throughout the school is excellent and the school's ahead-of-trend wellbeing hub, called The Snug, has been warmly welcomed by parents.
With an emphasis on pupil collaboration and problem-solving, the school's curriculum is forward-thinking with exceptional teaching in academic subjects alongside wonderful opportunities in performing and creative arts and outstanding sports coaching. There are sport teams for all abilities to ensure that each child represents the school, with our elite athletes having represented the school at national, regional and county level in most sports.
In short, St Andrew's Prep leads the way in offering its pupils an all-round education, inspiring and encouraging them to succeed and enjoy life.
We would be delighted to welcome you to St Andrew's Prep where we are sure you will gain a real sense of the energy and the happiness and engagement in learning of our children.
