Moving to the next stage

Your Chosen Secondary School

Moving to the next stage – secondary schools

 

Over the last 25 years, pupils of Windrush Valley Prep School Oxfordshire have been able to attend their chosen secondary school. Our school days are meticulously planned to ensure we continue delivering academic excellence and giving our pupils the very best start.

As your child progresses through their primary school journey, we know that thinking about the next step, secondary school, is an important consideration. To help you navigate this significant decision, we offer guidance and support for both you and your children.

Our goal is to ensure each pupil moves on to a senior school that is the best fit for their academic abilities, character, and interests. Our program includes:

  • Personalised Secondary School Selection Advice: We will provide expert, one-on-one consultation to discuss the various senior school options, whether they are day schools, boarding schools, selective, or all-ability institutions. We will help you understand the unique ethos and admission criteria of potential schools to match them with your child’s needs and aspirations.
  • Academic and Exam Preparation: We will offer targeted support to help pupils prepare for entrance examinations. This preparation will focus on core subjects like Mathematics and English, as well as Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
  • Interview and Assessment Practice: In addition to academic preparation, we will provide guidance on interview skills and other school-specific assessments to help your child feel confident and prepared.

At Windrush Valley Prep School, we believe that with our support, this transition can be a smooth and positive experience for both you and your child.

Small class sizes, great leadership, teachers and staff members plus a well rounded curriculum have made this the best choice for our son who joined Windrush Valley Prep School last year. Registered our young daughter for this school as well.

Windrush Valley Prep School is a real gem. My daughter has absolutely flourished during her time so far. The teachers are kind and nurturing and have bought the best out of her in all areas. She skips into school each morning.

Our daughter has blossomed in the short time she has been at the school. She is more confident and has made some lovely friendships. Academically, she is flourishing and enjoys all aspects of the curriculum and the school.
