Ravenscourt Park Preparatory School (RPPS) is a high-achieving independent prep school for children aged 4–11 in Hammersmith, West London, where academic ambition and exceptional pastoral care go hand in hand.
From Reception onwards, pupils are encouraged to think deeply, ask bold questions and develop confidence in their own ideas. Inspired by the belief that education should inspire curiosity, nurture creativity and engender kindness, RPPS combines high expectations with genuine warmth, ensuring every child feels known and supported.
The school’s academic excellence has been recognised nationally. RPPS is proud to be named a Tatler School by the Tatler Schools Guide 2026 and to hold the prestigious NACE Challenge Award, reflecting its commitment to stretching and challenging pupils of all abilities.
The curriculum is broad and purposeful, building strong foundations in literacy and numeracy while promoting critical thinking, collaboration and independence. By the end of Year 6, pupils move on to an impressive range of leading senior schools, regularly securing places and scholarships across London, including the group’s senior schools, Kew House and Maida Vale. Families are carefully guided through the 11+ journey, with a focus on finding the right fit for each child.
Beyond the classroom, more than 60 clubs each week, alongside thriving sport, music and drama, allow pupils to discover new passions and develop leadership skills.
Be Part of the Family captures the spirit of RPPS: an ambitious yet nurturing community where children flourish academically, socially and personally and leave fully prepared for the next stage of their education.
Open mornings and private tours are available throughout the year.
