Griffin House School provides an outstanding education in a happy and nurturing environment where every pupil is exceptionally well cared for.
Welcome to Griffin House Preparatory School
At Griffin House we place great value on giving pupils the opportunity to flourish in all areas of school life. Throughout the school, we promote an atmosphere where a high level of achievement is valued. We aim to create a sense of happiness and warmth in which pupils are motivated to work and play to the best of their abilities. Both inside and outside the classroom, we generate a sense of vitality based on the principle that learning is fun.
The needs of our pupils are central to all that we do and we know that their success, both now and in the future, will be built on foundations of happiness and security and so we tailor our teaching to the needs of every child.
Our small class sizes and individualised learning environment ensures that your child will be given the attention and support they deserve to excel and have an exceptional education. Our dedicated teaching staff provide a wealth of opportunities for every child to find their passion and reach their potential in the classroom, on the sports field, in the arts and as caring and kind human beings. We are proud of our excellent local reputation and our ability to unlock your child’s full potential, preparing them for the next stage in their academic life.
We consider ourselves to be very privileged that parents have entrusted us with the care and education of their children and we value the contribution that parents make to the life of the school. Griffin House is a very happy community and I would be delighted and privileged to show you around our school and talk to you about how wonderful it is!

HEADTEACHER'S WELCOME
At Griffin House School, our curriculum and class sizes allow our teachers to focus their attention on your child as an individual and ensure they feel comfortable, safe and valued as we know that this will help them reach their full potential.
We guide our pupils to become respectful, curious and tolerant, with the ability to learn independently and engage joyfully in their learning. We also encourage our pupils to grow as a whole person, ensuring they develop self-confidence and become thoughtful and valuable members of the community.

Watch out - there’s a new Headteacher in town!
Mr Young took over for the day and did a fantastic job leading the school. From morning duties to classroom visits, he was full of energy, confidence, and great ideas! The whole school loved seeing him in charge and we think he enjoyed the view from the top too!

Years 1 to 3 took part in a very special Moon Landing Coding Adventure!🚀🌒 They took part in an exciting show that gave the children insight into the STEM careers involved in the first moon landing and some of the diverse role models who made it all possible.
They learnt how to design, write, test and debug algorithms in an out of this world adventure and put these skills into practise using Beebots and Scratch!
