Radnor House Prep School is an independent co-educational day school. The school educates and inspire girls and boys from ages 2-11, with four main entry points in Nursery, Reception, Year 3 and Year 5.

Life at Radnor House is shaped by the school’s commitment to providing an active learning environment for limitless minds. Everyone firmly believes that all pupils are capable of great things if effectively taught, motivated and inspired by their school environment. Pupils thrive in small classes with a strong focus on individual attention. This vision is underpinned by four key values which are central to school life:

Resilience – encouraging a sense of balance and humour in dealing with mishap and failure, and encouraging pupils to use difficulties as learning opportunities.

Respect – teaching children to listen to others, to value and understand difference, and to show a respect of themselves and others.

Reflection – showing pupils how to make good judgements, to review what they know and learn, to evaluate and analyse success and failure with a view to growing potential.

Resolve – enabling pupils to have the courage to take a chance, to face a challenge with confidence.

Founded in 1950 by Muriel and Dela Pointer, The Pointer School has been educating children in Blackheath for over 70 years. The Pointer sisters ran ‘The Pointer Dance School’ from the 1920s until the founding of the prep school on its current site.

Over the following years, The Pointer School has flourished and grown into a large successful Prep and Pre-Prep school, while still retaining its quirky character and Christian family ethos. The Pointer School pupils are instantly recognisable in their unique purple and green uniforms, and are well-known throughout Blackheath and Greenwich for their cheerful nature and kind hearts. We believe this is attributed to our outstanding of pastoral care.

All adults in our school, from teachers to playground assistants, work to create a loving and fun environment where children are taught to value mistakes and take pride in the accomplishments of themselves and others. Our pupils grow up with a sense of belonging and respect for the diverse world that we live in.

We place a strong emphasis on holistic education, with an extensive wraparound care programme, Holiday Clubs and camps, and over 50 extracurricular clubs, from gardening to coding.

At Pointers, school is so much more than just a classroom.

Devonshire House is a co-educational prep school, for girls and boys aged 2-13, offering unparalleled preparation for senior school and life thereafter. Our unwavering focus on individual growth, within an inclusive community, blends traditional values and modern practice to inspire fearless life-long learning.

Children can join the School’s Nursery, (ages 2 – 4), or Reception, and at later stages, where vacancies arise.

Devonshire House School occupy a rare midground: academic rigour and a happy, balanced, nurturing childhood. Children fly academically precisely because they are known and loved as an individual through bespoke relationships.

Broomwood Pre-Prep is a school for girls and boys aged 3-7 and the first stage of a wonderful prep education with Broomwood through to 13. Times change, but our school’s philosophy has never wavered: if a child is happy, they will learn and thrive.

We offer a stimulating, happy and well-rounded education with small class sizes, high teacher/pupil ratios and specialist subject teaching in music and sport.  Our pupils love coming to school.

Thematic learning hooks them in to exciting topics; Maths Mastery ensures that every child has a fundamental grasp of number to give them the problem solving skills that are so critical in life. Our focus on a ‘growth mindset’, ensures that every child knows that learning is a process and it’s OK not to get everything right first time.

In the increasingly automated world that our children will face in the years to come, the human skills and values they learn at Broomwood will matter more than ever. Things like critical thinking, confidence, self-discipline, resilience, organisation, teamwork, creativity, a sense of duty and responsibility; good manners, courtesy and tolerance of others.

Our School Motto exemplifies all that we believe about education:

BeYourBEST

We are academically ambitious and believe in hard work too, and the satisfaction and sense of achievement that it brings; but never to the exclusion of happiness and of fun, or of a child’s right to be a child.
