Our Deputy Head (Academic)
At Streatham & Clapham Prep School, the focus is on fostering a community of happy and confident pupils.
We pride ourselves on being inclusive, welcoming children from diverse backgrounds and with varying abilities, each individually empowered to be the best they can be. We believe that a broad and balanced curriculum extends beyond the classroom, equipping pupils with lifelong learning skills. This is evident in the academic lessons and activities offered and is reflected in the School’s beliefs, standards, quality, and discipline. The emphasis is on how pupils learn, as well as what they learn. Alongside building a firm academic knowledge base, the curriculum incorporates exposure to a wide range of experiences, including aesthetic, linguistic, mathematical, physical, scientific, social, spiritual, and technological. Excellence in everything is at the core of the our philosophy, balanced with a focus on pupils’ wellbeing and happiness.
