Welcome from The Head

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Wymondham College Prep School.

We are a state school with the aspiration to do something extraordinary! We are brave and confident to be different in nurturing and creating an authentic holistic education in a unique state school setting. The children's personal development is central to this holistic approach, with relationships, well-being and creating a sense of belonging sitting at the heart of all that we do.

We believe that all children can thrive if they are nurtured and guided with patience to love the challenge of learning. Making mistakes is a vital part of the learning process, whether that's in an academic context or in a social context in the playground or on the sports field. We want our children to truly experience our curriculum, threading awe and wonder amongst a rigorous knowledge and conceptually rich learning experience.

We are extremely ambitious for each and every one of our pupils, both inside and outside the classroom. We are lucky to have some subject specialist teachers from our Senior School at Wymondham College to teach in Year 5 & Year 6. We are lucky that we can all enjoy and benefit from the beautiful 83-acre college campus and facilities.

Our boarding provision for Year 5 & Year 6 pupils adds another unique dimension to our learning community. Offering homely, modern accommodation, Underwood Hall is a place where our young boarders benefit from all the facilities of Wymondham College, whilst preparing them for life as secondary school boarders.

I am hugely ambitious, extremely passionate and very excited about the future of Wymondham College Prep School. My responsibility is to ensure that our aims are met and that our vision exceeds expectations. I encourage you to join us on this journey.
