Introduction to Springmead Preparatory School

Springmead School is an established, independent, co-educational, preparatory school and nursery, catering for children aged 2 to 11 years situated in the beautiful village of Beckington, Somerset near Frome on the Wiltshire, Bath border.

There can be few more important tasks for a parent than choosing the right school for their child. At school, children should not only become numerate and literate, but also develop a hunger for knowledge and a thirst for learning whether this is in academic areas, sports or arts.

Children need to be guided to become self-learners, to think wisely, be confident, balanced and compassionate while developing their own particular talents and abilities to the full. Such ideals are best achieved in an environment that is stable, secure and safe but at the same time one that is exciting, stimulating, rewarding and fun.

At Springmead School there is a firm commitment to these principles which are achieved by:-

• Caring for each individual's needs, a realistic proposition in small classes
• Providing a first-class education using the best of traditional and modern teaching approaches with up-to-date resources
• Providing a rich variety of academic, social and sporting experiences
• Providing dedicated, professional and caring staff who receive regular in-service training
• Providing a happy and supportive environment
• Forging strong partnerships between home and school

Springmead School is an energetic, modern school, owned and run by a family team with a wealth of experience and qualifications in education and business management. The team is totally committed to its purpose and is confident of its ability to be entrusted with the life, education, possibilities and future of each prospective pupil.
