Welcome  to Downham Preparatory School and Montessori Nursery.

We are a co-educational independent day school for pupils aged 2-11 years. The school is non-selective, there is no entrance exam. Our aim is to help all children, regardless of academic ability, to reach their maximum potential. Schemes of work are differentiated and are written to suit the needs of each individual pupil, whether they have a special need and require additional help or are academically gifted and need more challenging programmes of study. We also believe that learning should be fun  and that children should come to school  looking forward to each new day.

In March 2009 the school was inspected by Ofsted and was graded as  ‘Outstanding’. The report states :-

‘Downham Preparatory school and Montessori  Nursery  provides outstanding education and care for its pupils. Pupils flourish, are happy to be at the school and are motivated  to learn.’

If you would like to visit the school, I would be very pleased to meet you and show you around.
