Eighty-five years ago, Rowan Preparatory School opened its doors to seven pupils. Its founder, Miss Millar, was determined to create an environment conducive to learning, she wanted Rowan to be a school where girls enjoyed their studies, developed a strong sense of self and established lasting friendships. Today Rowan is a school where girls achieve personal excellence, but above all it is a school where girls are happy. They embark on a journey of adventurous learning with specialist teaching staff to ensure that each pupil reaches their full potential in a vibrant, friendly and highly motivated community.

Every girl’s senior school journey is unique.

At Rowan Prep, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we take the time to understand each girl’s strengths and aspirations, working closely with families to help every child find the senior school where she will truly thrive.

Alongside our established 11+ preparation programme, Year 5 families also have the option of applying to Guildford High School and Surbiton High School through our Early Application Pathway. It’s one of the ways we continue to offer personalised guidance, giving families the information and support they need to make the right decision for their daughter.

Whatever pathway a family chooses, our commitment remains the same: expert guidance, tailored preparation and unwavering support, ensuring every Rowan girl feels confident and ready for the opportunities ahead.

Find out more about our Early Application Pathway and our approach to senior school preparation on our website. Or give us a call and we would be delighted to have a chat!

đź“š Reading at Rowan đź“š

We were thrilled to welcome bestselling author Lui Sit to Rowan this week!

Our girls loved hearing about the inspiration behind her new book, Wildcat and the Gathering Storm, and discovering how stories can grow from a single spark of imagination.

Meeting a real life author is always a memorable experience and we’re sure many aspiring writers left feeling inspired to create stories of their own.

A huge thank you to Lui Sit and Regency Bookshop for encouraging our girls to embrace their imagination, creativity and love of reading.
