Head Teacher’s Welcome - Ursuline Preparatory School, Wimbledon

Welcome to our Ursuline Community. The core provision of this school is three-fold:(i) A strong Ursuline ethos; (ii) An academic provision that prepares the children fully for the secondary school of parents’ choice, wherever that choice may be; (iii) A strong partnership between pupils, parents and staff.

The Ursuline Preparatory School is an independent Roman Catholic school that welcomes children of all faiths and none, in the belief that our Ursuline ethos will be of benefit to all.

The heart of any Roman Catholic school is its Catholic ethos and the commitment it shows to Gospel Values, in Christian service to God and others. We will ensure the ongoing faith formation of all members of our school community, with an emphasis on ‘Serviam’, in compassionate service to others. We will place equal value on the education of the heart, the mind and the soul, in the sure and certain knowledge that only through the equal development of all three can you truly become the person you were born to be; the best that you can be.

The children enjoy a rich diversity of experiences, both inside and outside of the classroom. Through our challenging curriculum, through our full sporting programme, through our varied range of outings and residential trips and through our developed range of extra-curricular activities, together with our multiple opportunities to promote the ethos of ‘Serviam’, we help prepare the children fully for the next step in their educational journey, as well as enabling them to look forward to the future with confidence, keen to make a difference in the world.

We believe in a close link between home and school, born of the belief that working in partnership with parents is of advantage to all and makes this school stronger.

The school produces a review magazine – the Insieme Review – shown below, which offers a glimpse of school life at Ursuline Preparatory School for the previous academic year.

The Ursuline Preparatory School is a happy and caring school where everyone is valued. Please do pay us a visit. You will be made very welcome.

I look forward to meeting you.

Head Teacher

“When we were moving from the U.S. to London, we specifically chose to live in Wimbledon for the easy access to Ursuline Prep. The Ursuline brand has a global reputation for academic excellence in a nurturing environment, and the prep in Wimbledon is no exception. We are continually in awe of how much our girls have learned, how they’re progressing socially, and the close relationships they have with their friends and teachers. We’re so grateful to have an opportunity to be apart of this special community."

"We were absolutely delighted with the experience our two oldest daughters had at Ursuline Pre-School. The teachers are warm, energetic and plan incredibly engaging days for the children. My daughters were very well prepared for entering Reception and had a lot of fun along the way. We particularly valued the outside space, the way the children learnt so much through play, and the general environment of the School - positive, nurturing and ambitious. We very much look forward to our youngest child starting at Ursuline Pre-School next year."

Our child has loved every moment of Ursuline Pre-School. The teaching staff are exceptionally caring and nurturing. Without doubt, they foster numeracy, literacy, social and other essential skills- but it is done with creativity and fun. The Pre-School is a very special place.”
