Welcome To Prep (age 7-11)

Welcome From the Head of the Junior School

I hope you find this website an informative and welcoming first glance at our school.

At St Lawrence College, we set high expectations, inspiring every child to persevere and succeed across academics, sport, and the arts. Our approach nurtures confidence and independence, laying strong foundations for the next stage of their education and beyond. Learning extends far beyond the classroom, with enriching experiences such as Forest School, a diverse range of sports, and an array of exciting co-curricular activities designed to spark curiosity and develop essential life skills. With dedicated staff and exceptional facilities, we provide a supportive yet challenging environment where every child is encouraged to thrive.
I do hope that you will come and visit us at St Lawrence College Junior School.
