Rosemead Preparatory School & Nursery

Rosemead Preparatory School & Nursery Rosemead Preparatory School & Nursery. A co-educational day prep school for children aged 2 to 11 in

Our school aims are at the very core of everything we do and are the reason the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) judged Rosemead Prep to be ‘Excellent’ across all areas of Educational Quality – this is the highest grade achievable. They are;

- To encourage confidence from a young age, preparing children for the next stages of their own brilliant futures
- To meet the intellectual, physical and emotional needs of each child and embrace excellence across the curriculum
- To create an inclusive, nurturing community that enables children to be creative, reflective and compassionate
- To inspire a thirst for learning, providing opportunities that extend far beyond our curriculum
- To work in close partnership with our parents and the wider community

Our motto, Inspiring Brilliant Futures, reflects our desire to develop a passion for learning that will enable children to aim high and achieve their goals. The school’s success is evident in our pupils’ enviable record of entry to leading senior schools locally in both the independent and maintained sectors. Although we set the highest academic standards, we are committed to providing a well-rounded and inclusive education. With bursaries available from Year 3, we work hard to identify and nurture talents in, for example, sport, the arts or leadership and allow all children to thrive. Outstanding pastoral support and the school’s unique status under the auspices of the Thurlow Educational Trust, of which every parent is a member, results in an exceptionally strong school community.

Our Pre-Prep children have begun their exciting Sunflower Challenge.

Each child planted their very own sunflower seed, learning how to care for it as it begins to grow. Sunflowers were chosen as a symbol of positivity, growth, and individuality. Just like our children, every sunflower will grow in its own unique way. Some may be taller, some brighter, but all are equally special. As sunflowers turn towards the light, they remind us of hope, happiness, and the importance of nurturing every child to shine.

The sunflowers will stay indoors for the next few weeks before moving outside once they are strong enough. We are looking forward to seeing how they flourish over time.

To celebrate British Science Week, Pre-Prep welcomed some very special guests: our 'Living Eggs.' We’ve turned into mini-scientists, practicing the art of patient observation as we watched the first cracks appear and the chicks finally emerge. Beyond the biology, this experience perfectly mirrored Neurodiversity Week; the children noticed that while some chicks were the first to hatch and others took their time, each one was unique, healthy, and a vital part of the flock.

Our 'Rosemead Full of Voices' Book Week was a spectacular celebration of storytelling, transporting Rosemead from the clever webs of Anansi in Nursery and the timeless Aesop’s Fables in Reception to the rich Irish and Nordic folk traditions in Key Stage 1. We welcomed Linda Lawrence with her tales from The Sweet Planet, while Annemarie Anang brought I Am Nefertiti to life through a vibrant fusion of music and movement. Following a dazzling World Book Day costume parade, the week culminated in an immersive puppetry workshop with Big Foot Arts Education, where children explored the magic of object manipulation. It has been a joy to see the children find their own voices through this diverse tapestry of literature and performance.
