Visit Skippers Hill Preparatory School

If you're thinking about private school for your child and think Skippers Hill might be the school for you, we recommend that you come along and visit in order to gain a true insight into school life here. You can sample the atmosphere and most of all, meet our staff and pupils.

If you would like to come for a meeting and bespoke tour with our Headteacher, Mr Hammond, please fill in a short visit form so we can get this arranged at a time suitable for you.

Alternatively, you are very welcome to come along to our regular Open Mornings which offers prospective families the opportunity to see what we're all about in a group setting, you will meet Mr Hammond, our team and the children as well as take a tour of our school and see the work of children already at Skippers Hill. 

Upcoming Open Mornings

Monday 27th January from 9:30am-11:30am

Our Open Mornings are always popular events so we would recommend to get in touch to register your attendance so we can expect you on the day.

Scholarships

If you are interested in scholarships, we currently have September 2020 scholarship places available which can be discussed with the team.

Choosing the right school

If you would like some advice on choosing the best school for your child, here are some snippets from a blog from Mr Hammond about that all important decision:

1. 1. Match the school to the needs of your child, rather than the other way round.

2. 2. Choose a school that values sport, the performing arts and creative arts equally and gives all children the chance to develop in these areas. 

3. 3. Academic results are vitally important but delve under the surface of published ‘results’ - choose a school that values and promotes academic progress for all, whatever the children’s starting points. 

4. 4. Look for a school that has high expectations but doesn’t place young children under too much pressure. 

5. 5. Look for a school that will show what life is like on a normal school day and watch the children at work and in the playground.
