The Avenue Pre-Preparatory School and Nursery
London, Haringey, Greater London · N6 5RX
A small independent school for boys and girls aged two to seven, The Avenue Pre-Preparatory School and Nursery occupies the earliest, most formative stretch of a child's education in Haringey. With around 76 pupils on roll, it is an intimate setting where staff can know each child well. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded the school its top grade of 'excellent' for the quality of pupils' education and the same rating for their personal development. Parents should note, however, that the school did not meet the ISI's regulatory compliance requirements at inspection.

The last word
An 'excellent'-rated start for the very youngest learners, with a personal touch that comes naturally to a school this small. The unmet compliance finding is worth raising with the school directly.
