Meet the Head of Prep

I would like to welcome you to our Preparatory School where boy and girls aged four to eleven enjoy a breadth of exciting and challenging activities, both inside and outside the classroom.
Our priority is to foster natural curiosity and enthusiasm at the start of a journey towards a lifelong love of learning. We value each and every child as an individual and ensure their unique qualities and talents are nurtured. Our wide, innovative, and varied curriculum is full of opportunity and enables our whole community to flourish in the very safest of environments.
The values of Belonging, Aspiration and Service permeate through every fiber of our school. They provide our incredibly talented staff team with the vision to passionately provide real-life, purposeful and exciting learning opportunities.  Our enrichment programme, of clubs, themed days, visiting speakers, and trips further inspire the children’s Battle Abbey School journey.  We appreciate the need for flexible arrangements and our staff lead before and after school care is also fully included within our offer to all families.
The children of Battle Abbey Prep School are welcoming and supportive of each other, and they thrive on celebrating each other’s successes within a happy and caring learning community. All pupils belong to a House, to support teamwork, reciprocal learning and the development of healthy competition within our community. With charity initiatives and projects, we help to support the wider community, realising the value of our contributions. Pupil voice is valued greatly, and our School Council representatives share the ideas of others and shape the experiences of others.
During your personal tour ask about our national title winning swimmers, the incredible opportunities for musical performance and drama, how we have developed our grounds to be more sustainable and finally our commitment to the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) curriculum.
I very much look forward to meeting you and your children at Battle Abbey Prep School
 
Jonathan Elms
Head of Prep and Nursery
