    Word From The Head

    Head Photo

    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

    31-12-2025 - Personal Tour

    There is no better way to find out more about Spring Grove School than to come and visit us. We are always pleased to arrange tours for prospective families. A visit on a weekday during term time allows you to see the school in action and to get a real feel for what we do at Spring Grove day to day. This personal tour will normally be led by Mrs Lee-Browne (Head of Marketing and Admissions) and can also include a meeting with the Head, Mrs Jaggard, or with the Head of Early Years, Mrs Blows.

    14-03-2026 - Open Morning

    Our Open Mornings are great opportunities to visit Spring Grove at a weekend and experience the school in a relaxed, informal setting. Tours are led by our best ambassadors - our Prep 6 pupils - as well as by our teachers, and there is also time to meet with the Head and other members of staff, and with current parents. We ask our Open Morning visitors to register in advance so that we can book in timed tours between 9.30am and 11.30am, and ensure that every tour is tailored to your individual requirements.

    Good Schools Guide


    A school for ‘have-a-go’, adventurous children who aren’t averse to muddy knees. The academics are skilfully woven into a joyful school day, producing bubbly, confident, able pupils with well-nurtured and strong roots.

    My daughter has been at Teddies for just over a year and adores her days there. Her teachers are uniformly kind, caring, affectionate, and fun while also actively supporting her development with stimulating activities and plenty of time spent outdoors. I feel entirely content dropping her at...
