South Lee Prep School is a small, nurturing prep school located in the bustling town of Bury St Edmunds.

​

Whether pupils are in our Nursery or Year 8, they are celebrated for their authenticity, their effort and their achievements. We proactively teach and model the skills of nurture and communication and community and family is at the heart of everything we do. 

​

We are a forward-thinking school, enhanced by familiar prep-school traditions. Teachers are always looking for ways to enhance learning and ignite intellectual curiosity in our children. We want them to become independent learners, to ask questions, to challenge what they already know, to learn new ways of thinking and to be the best they can possibly be.

 

Importantly, we also want them to find out who they are, what they love and how to be happy in their own skin, whilst allowing for mistakes made and risks taken along the way in this safe and nurturing environment.

​

You can't visit South Lee without noticing the busy, curious and brave children, full of zest for life. We'd love you to come and see for yourself!
