Foster excellence at every stage
At Salcombe Prep, we are committed to upholding the highest standards in core skills. We focus on fostering excellence in reading, writing, and numeracy, providing pupils with a strong foundation to support their ongoing learning journey both in and outside of school.
Digital citizens of the future!
Being part of a global schools group gives us unrivalled access to the latest Ed-Tech developments. Pupils from Reception to Year 1 are assigned their own school iPad and Year 3-6 pupils are issued with 1-to-1 devices.
These personalised devices are used as integral tools to enhance and transform the pupils learning experience, fostering growth and success in what is a rapidly evolving world.
Empowering every child
We understand that all pupils learn at different rates and possess varying abilities compared to their peers. This is why we take pride in adapting our teaching and learning techniques to every pupil’s specific needs, amplifying their strengths, providing support in areas of difficulty, and empowering each pupil to believe, achieve, and thrive in their success.
Cultivating Each Pupil's Best Self
At Salcombe Prep, we provide a comprehensive education that fosters all aspects of a child's development. Our curriculum is stimulating and challenging, ensuring high academic and pastoral achievements for all pupils.
Additionally, we recognise the importance of nurturing the talents of our more able and talented pupils. We offer them opportunities to excel in specific skills and talents, ensuring they reach their full potential.
11+ Preparation
11+ Exam Preparation

Our results reflect the quality of our provision. In 2024, 52% of our Year 6 cohort secured places at grammar schools for September 2024.
