Teaching & academics

The ISI awarded Edge Grove its top grade of excellent, a rating that covers both pupils' achievement and the quality of their learning. As a prep school running to age 13, its work is geared towards preparing children for entry to senior schools at the appropriate stage. The notable proportion of pupils on SEN support points to a setting that tailors teaching rather than expecting one pace to suit all.

Learning support & SEN

SEN support: 20.45%
EHC plans: 0.76%

Beyond the classroom

An equally excellent rating for personal development indicates that life beyond the classroom is given real weight, with attention to how children grow in confidence and character.
