A traditional prep school education is offered with fine facilities, specialist teaching and extensive co-curricular opportunities, not least in music, art and competitive sport. Academic standards are high. Small classes ensure that children are treated as individuals; the house system allows all members of the school family to know and respect each other.
Pupils are prepared for life beyond Spring Grove and many move on to grammar schools, local independent or further prep schools in the area.
The Spring Grove Challenge Award Scheme which operates in the top two years, is designed to encourage the children to explore breadth in their education: to research widely, to enjoy science, to be involved in the community, to gain performing and creating experience in the arts and, above all, to gain a love of learning in all areas.
