Academic Ethos
We are more greenhouse than hothouse, looking to bring out the best in each individual girl. We offer an enlightened education which results in outstanding academic performance as evidenced by the many scholarships awarded by senior schools to Hanford Prep girls each year.
We believe we fulfil the aims of the school very well but recognise that as educators we must constantly review our curriculum. We are always looking at ways to improve the character of our education in a forever changing world.
Teaching at Hanford covers so much more than the National Curriculum
Small classes and proven teaching methods mean that girls of all abilities do well at Hanford Prep. Pupils are supported by academic tutors and an individualised teaching approach whereby teachers know their pupils extremely well and how best to build their confidence, letting them flourish and succeed in all subjects.
This prep school defies the odds to offer one of the most magical upbringings a little girl can dream of. Every day brings a new adventure; think ponies and picnics but within a solid academic educational framework rewarded with scholarships to top schools.
CARFAX EDUCATION
Despite not selecting pupils for academic ability, our girls fulfil their potential in the classroom and beyond.
Pupils are given the time and space to be children, encouraged to follow their interests and develop their talents. Last year our Leavers were awarded scholarships across all areas - academic, sport, drama and art.
