Head’s Welcome

From the Head

Welcome to Glendower Preparatory School, where we champion a future where young women thrive academically, socially, and personally. Educating bright girls since 1895, Glendower has always been driven to provide first-class education for girls, challenging the societal norms of the time. Passionate advocates of the transformational power of girls’ education, our mission blends ambitious rigour with strong community connections, ensuring our girls excel not only in their studies but also in their personal growth and social responsibilities. We cultivate an environment that equips our girls with academic prowess while also promoting playfulness, resilience, and a deep-rooted sense of social citizenship. Our commitment to delivering academic excellence always goes hand in hand with prioritising emotional wellness and celebrating the joy of childhood.

At Glendower, balancing academic excellence, a rich co-curricular programme and high levels of emotional well-being is not just a goal; it is a commitment. Our academic results, destination schools, and proven track record in securing scholarships from the most prestigious London Day and Boarding Schools speak for themselves. Year after year, our girls demonstrate high levels of engagement in higher-order thinking and creative problem-solving. However, we also believe that a healthy mind is essential for personal growth. With a holistic programme that includes a focus on emotional literacy, our supportive community ensures that our girls not only thrive academically but also navigate life’s challenges with resilience and emotional intelligence.

As you explore our website, I hope you gain a sense of the vibrant, supportive, and ambitious culture that defines Glendower Preparatory School. We are dedicated to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow, and I warmly invite you to visit us to find out more.
