Starting from nine-months old in The Garden Nursery, we aim to foster positive attitudes and a ‘can-do’ mindset by encouraging children to explore a balanced and holistic curriculum. Our excellent staff want all of our pupils to feel good about their learning and to be confident about who they are. Believing in yourself while still being kind to others is a key ingredient of a KPS education.

Mark Brearey


Kingswood Prep School (KPS) is situated on a magnificent 120-acre site in Lansdown, Bath, a short distance from Kingswood Senior School.

It very much embodies a countryside atmosphere, with open fields and plenty of space for the children to explore. However, it is only a short walk from the stunning city centre and all the amenities on offer. A family-friendly day school, Kingswood Prep balances academic rigour and real objectives for all pupils with the outstanding pastoral care for which Kingswood is known. Many parents comment on the School’s kind and nurturing environment, the absence of pretension and how happy their children are to attend.

Kingswood Prep School is firmly based on Christian principles, and we believe in John Wesley’s vision for community and education at the heart of all we do. We aim to foster positive attitudes and a ‘can-do’ mindset by encouraging children to explore a balanced and holistic curriculum. Our excellent staff want all of our pupils to feel good about their learning and to be confident about who they are. Believing in yourself while still being kind to others is a key ingredient of a KPS education.


Please do come and see Kingswood Prep School for yourselves – it truly offers a wonderful education for young people. I am sure you will be able to feel the energy and vibrancy as soon as you walk through the door.

I really can’t wait to meet you and your family – please do get in touch.

Good School Guide


A happy school where children are given the education and facilities to find the foundations of lifelong passions while revelling in the freedom of endless outdoorsy adventures.  

Talk Education


It isn’t always easy to hit the sweet spot between academically ambitious and passionately nurturing – but Kingswood Prep has nailed it. ‘Be kind, be kind, be kind’ is the mantra here, and learning starts with attending to the wellbeing of each and every child. Glorious architecture, spacious...  

Muddy Stilettos


Good for: parents who want their children to enjoy being children, yet still get a good all-round education with masses of opportunities to try new things, build independence and confidence within a relaxed, inclusive atmos. Taking children as young as nine months is a bonus.
