Spring Grove School

Word From The Head

Mrs Jaggard

I am delighted to welcome you to Spring Grove School – a school that offers an excellent all-round education and a fantastic start in life for children aged 2 to 11 years. We are a happy, family Prep school where children have the space and opportunity to grow with confidence, and to find their own ‘spark’. Our school is small enough for us to know every child individually, and for us to encourage each and every pupil in our care to develop a love of learning that will be lasting. I was particularly pleased that after our most recent ISI inspection in 2023, we were awarded a double ‘excellent’ – for the quality of the pupils’ academic and other achievements, and for the quality of the pupils’ personal development – the highest grades achievable for both outcomes.

Spring Grove is located in Wye, between Ashford and Canterbury, in a beautiful 14-acre rural setting which I think we can justifiably describe as one of the most beautiful playgrounds in Kent. As a completely independent prep school we are proud to prepare our children for a range of secondary education when they leave us at 11 , including grammar and senior independent schools. Typically more than half of our leavers go on to grammar school, while many others win scholarships to independent schools both local and further afield
