Daily Life at the Prep School
No day is the same at Ryde Prep where from Reception to Year 6, we provide an outstanding, varied, all-round and fun education for boys and girls.
Children aged 4 to 7 are located in Oxford Lodge a warm and calming grade 2 Victorian villa, expertly converted to an inspiring learning space. Our Prep children aged 7 to 11 are in the main Prep building, both on the main Ryde School campus with access to all the open space, fields, sports and arts facilities this offers.
