Welcome to the Preparatory School

The Preparatory School (Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep) is situated on the same site as the Senior School, although vehicular access is via Upwood Road. Children can join the Nursery at 3+, the Pre-Prep at 4 and the Preparatory at 7. The Nursery and Pre-Prep is adjacent to the Prep School (Years 3-6) and both share the extensive sporting and drama facilities of the Senior School.

Colfe’s prides itself in its reputation for giving an all round education from the academic to pastoral and from the sports to the arts. We are delighted that you are viewing our website and, if you are looking for a school for your son or daughter, invite you and your family to visit the School. We would very much like to show you around and to discuss the educational opportunities for your child. It is our belief, and experience, that Colfe’s gives children an exceptional start in life.

Colfe’s is a great school, with over 350 years of tradition. As your headmaster I intend to build on these solid foundations. I look forward to working with all of you.

John Gallagher, Prep School Headmaster
