Unicorn School
CO-ED INDEPENDENT PREP SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN AGED 3 - 11

A welcome from
our Headteacher

Unicorn School was founded in 1970 by a small group of local parents and teachers who wanted to create a school that offered children a rounded education, encouraging them to flourish creatively and to enjoy the process of learning, in a safe and happy environment.

 

"Unicorn School is a friendly, fun and creatively stimulating co-ed prep school with a really caring ethos"

Breadth of Opportunity

A broad and creative education

We pride ourselves in preparing children for the ever-changing world ahead, cultivating not just academic prowess, but also confidence, resilience, adaptability, and the lasting virtues of kindness and compassion. We want them to think independently and creatively and not to be afraid of making mistakes along the way.

THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY

A kind, caring family feel

We place an emphasis on the importance of building a sense of community, teaching children to appreciate diversity, and instilling values that promote compassion, empathy and respect.

For children to thrive both inside and outside the classroom, they need to know they matter and that they are fully supported. At Unicorn, the pastoral care and wellbeing of the children is our utmost priority. We provide a warm and nurturing environment along with the excellent relationships between children and staff which means that no child has any doubt the staff here will lend a safe and sympathetic ear whenever they may need it.
