Glowing praise for Terrington Hall Prep School following visit by guide reviewers

The UK’s most trusted guide to schools spent a day at the co-education prep school in the heart of the Howardian Hills, speaking with pupils and staff members and exploring the beautiful site.

Headmaster Simon Kible, who joined the school in September 2020, welcomed the independent reviewers, sharing with them his vision of ‘developing the bubble of a perfect childhood experience’.

Editorially independent and with no payment received from schools for their reviews, parents and prospective parents value the unbiased, forthright portraits that the Good Schools Guide has successfully published for more than 30 years.

The guide said: “Terrington is an unpretentious school where pupils come from a range of backgrounds.

“It has a real family feel where children can truly be children and where they become happy, successful and ready for the challenges of their chosen senior school.”

A school spokesman said: “The school provides a nurturing learning environment, supported by small class sizes, specialist teaching and strong pastoral care. The focus in the early years is to develop a love of school and learning.

“From an early age, the pre-prep pupils have access to the main school facilities. Drama, performance and public speaking are part of the culture with the headmaster keen for all pupils to have taken part in LAMDA exams before leaving in year 8.”
