How We Make a Difference

  • "As a parent, I am always greeted in a friendly way and receive plenty of feedback about my daughter, which is given in a realistic and encouraging way. The teacher really knows each child!"
  • "We’re so happy that the boys have joined South Lee. It’s hard to put into words just how much they’re enjoying everything, and we’re delighted with how well they’ve settled in. This is all thanks to the incredible support from your outstanding team and the warm welcome from their fellow pupils. We truly appreciate everything you’ve done to make this opportunity possible for them."
  • "The children are an absolute credit to the school; confident, polite, knowledgeable, and clearly engaged with and happy at South Lee. Their love for school and sense of humour shines through!"
  • "My son has been going since the start of September and really loves it. Since starting, he has come on a lot and comes out every day bouncing around, telling me all about it. The teachers and assistants are warm and friendly."
  • "I can’t thank the teachers at South Lee Prep school enough for going above and beyond, by answering emails well after your working hours to assure that my child is ok. Mrs Catchpole and her staff are absolutely amazing and these little things matter a lot. This is what makes South Lee so special and stand out."
