Lisa Crook, Banstead Preparatory School’s deputy head, said,
While these outcomes are impressive, what pleases us most, and what we believe best reflects the value of a Banstead Preparatory education, is the consistent recognition from senior schools of the whole child. Admissions teams have highlighted our pupils’ character, creativity, kindness and potential, not simply their academic achievements. Many commented on how confident, passionate and articulate Banstead Preparatory pupils were, exemplifying our learner powers and reinforcing the quality and depth of education we seek to provide.
