Bilton Grange Preparatory School

[EduCativ]

Bilton Grange Preparatory School is a magical place: a place of learning, a source of lifelong memories, and above all somewhere children want to be.

Whether you are looking to board or join us as a day pupil, our unique Pugin architecture, our hundred acres of woodland and open space and our facilities are the perfect theatre of dreams for children to be enthusiastic, energized, and inquisitive learners, and in amongst all the fun and bustle of life in a rural prep school, serious work also gets done. We prepare our children gradually and carefully for each step along their learning journey which for many of them will be the Common Entrance or Scholarship exams to progress to Rugby School (of which Bilton Grange is a part), or to other public schools or, for a few, the Warwickshire 11+ process. Our recent record of scholarship success speaks not only for the quality of teaching and learning but also for the determination and commitment of our pupils and the support of our parents: all three sides of this triangle are necessary to get this high level of success. However, at this age it’s not all about exams: good learning habits, and attention to detail, the ability to work independently and collaboratively are some of the most vital skills we can pass on to the children in our care.

Bilton Grange is a vibrant and welcoming community. Parents pop in and out, walking their dogs around the grounds, enjoying a Saturday morning bacon sandwich or afternoon tea families support our sports matches in large numbers, with drama and music performances equally well attended and anticipated.

Ethos “To be a learning community in which children can develop their full potential, discover their talents, grow as individuals and as members of society and above all be inspired to aspire.”
