nurturing curious minds

The Study is a creative school. From the way core academic subjects are taught to the very real emphasis we place on nurturing creative talent, our innovative approach to education is designed to encourage a natural curiosity and provide our girls with the best foundation for lifelong learning.

Academic excellence at The Study

A warm, open and happy space to learn

While we place a clear focus on academic achievement, we believe education means so much more than 11+ results. Through a nurturing environment we strive to ensure each and every girl gets the individual care they need to feel valued and to flourish. We champion the importance of emotional wellbeing, kindness, friendship and respect for others.

Curious

There’s no such thing as a silly question at The Study Prep. We encourage pupils to pursue their curiosity at every turn, always asking questions and never being afraid to challenge, speak up and be inquisitive.

Kindness, empathy, friendship and inclusivity are what make The Study Prep tick. Compassion is a thread that runs through all we do, whether that be instilling in our girls the ever-growing need to be considerate towards our planet, teaching them social responsibility or helping them learn the irrefutable power of kindness and empathy. All of us at The Study strive to put others first, to support our peers, be inclusive, mindful and compassionate in our day-to-day lives.

Our aim at The Study is to nurture the spirit of curiosity every single day. We want our girls to ask questions, to challenge conventions and think critically, reflectively and creatively so they grow to be independent problem solvers.

We support a stimulating learning environment where questioning is encouraged. This fosters curiosity every step of the way and keeps our pupils intrigued and excited to learn. As well as encouraging different approaches to problem solving we give Study girls space to stop and think, both to bring their own ideas to life.

We work hard to help our girls embrace their creativity every day, teaching them to use their imagination, to think independently and be inventive, and to always be prepared to take a leap of faith and try something new.

Our staff are focused on encouraging pupils to think for themselves and embrace independent learning, and place a very real emphasis on nurturing creative talent.

Creativity is woven through every aspect of school life, from the way we teach core academic subjects to our creative curriculum. We always welcome new ideas and encourage everyone at The Study to show their creativity, while knowing it’s ok to fail as we strive to learn.

Being courageous is so much more than just bravery. Girls at The Study learn the true meaning of courage on their journey with us – the power of having self belief, the confidence to respect different opinions and the strength that comes from expressing their own thoughts and feelings.

Our girls are passionate, purposeful and determined; they learn that anything is possible if you have the courage to speak up and be yourself.

“The loving, nurturing and caring ethos in the school is something very special. We chose The Study because its warmth matched our daughter’s personality.”

Year 4 parent

“The Study has offered a wonderful school experience for both my daughters, who have flourished thanks to the school’s careful mix of encouragement and challenges.”

Year 6 parent

“The children here struck us as articulate, loved, personable, relaxed, comfortable with themselves and others and, above all, completely and superlatively themselves. And that, surely, is what real girl power is all about?”
