Welcome to our lovely Prep School! I do hope to meet you in person soon and encourage you to come and see for yourself what makes this such a special school.

At Ardingly Prep, we see it as a real honour to guide our pupils through these crucial formative years. Our brilliant teachers and staff really get to know every child and understand when they need to be pushed outside their comfort zones, when they’d benefit from a gentler approach, and when to simply step back and let them fly!

This nurturing approach helps children grow into confident, brave and resilient people, ready to face life’s challenges head on. As a Head Teacher, seeing our pupils working as a team on the sports field, conquering their nerves on stage, or rallying around a friend at a difficult time, brings me as much pride as seeing their academic achievements in the classroom.

I’ve honestly never encountered a school more in tune with what children need today and better at preparing them for a rich, happy life. From my very first visit I knew this was a school I would be proud to lead and where I wanted my own daughter to be educated. I hope you will fall in love with Ardingly Prep too!

Do come and visit us soon.

Best wishes,

Laura Lamont, Head of Ardingly Prep
