Our Vision
For the moment Radnor House Prep is housed in a well resourced and appropriately laid out temporary site in Kew Foot Road, Richmond. Since September 2023 the school has established itself as a warm and exciting community where children feel confident and happy to learn. Whilst these premises work well for now, as we grow, we look forward to moving to our own PE site in Popes Villa, Twickenham.
The location, facilities and ample space at Radnor House Prep School’s permanent home, Pope’s Villa in Twickenham, will enable us to shape our curriculum far beyond the narrow strictures of the national curriculum. Lessons at Radnor Prep are a rich, rounded, educational experience that will bring learning alive for your child.
In addition to the academic scale and scope we can offer, our outdoor learning programme, array of workshops, co-curricular clubs and trips mean everyday is be a learning adventure for young minds.
We believe in stretch without stress at Radnor Prep. With the support of exceptional teachers, your child will grow in skills and confidence, happy, engaged and always excited to challenge themselves in and out of the classroom.
Our Values
Our curriculum is founded on the Radnor 3R Values;

Respect – teaching children to listen to others, to value and understand difference, and to show a respect of themselves and others.
Reflection – showing pupils how to make good judgements, to review what they know and learn, to evaluate and analyse success and failure with a view to growing potential.

Our Manifesto
How can you soar, if you haven’t stumbled?
How can you know the way, if you haven’t explored every turn?
How can you be bold, if you’ve never felt nervous?
How can you know what you want, if you haven’t discovered what you don’t?
How can you enjoy the win, if you don’t know how it feels to lose?
How can you know the answer, if you don’t understand the question?
We champion our children to be ambitious and inquisitive.
Try new things and be unafraid to fail.
Challenge structures and norms.
Uncover what their best is,
Not someone else’s.
Experiment and change their minds.
Balance different passions and ways of learning.
Embrace change and the unknown.
Discover who they are and who they want to be. Because Radnor House Prep will always be a place where curious minds can explore.
