KPS is a Co-Educational International School for children age between 1 Year and 11 years; Using England’s 2012 EYFS Curriculum & 2014 Revised National Curriculum as an entry point to our broad based curriculum.
Origins of Kerridale Preparatory School
KPS started as a nursery in 2010 and has evolved into a full preparatory school, offering its services to children aged 1 Year to 11 years old.
In 2014 as a result of our growth and the transition of the reception children to Year 1, our name changed from Kerridale Nursery to Kerridale Preparatory School or Kerridale Prep for short!
Kerridale Prep School is part of a group of companies ran under the umbrella name of Kerridale Limited, established in 2008, its main aim for existence is to provide educational services and support in the people development arena, building lifelong learners, empowering and affecting the community we live in.

New School Facilities
In 2014, two buildings were added to the original facility. One of the buildings accommodates the Key Stage 1 & 2 children’s learning area, a library, ICT room, music and Science labs. The second building is an Art Shack used for all art and craft activities, which has easy access to the school’s outdoor space and running water, thereby allowing our learning to be taken outdoors!
In addition to the new buildings, the outdoor play area has been extensively remodelled to enhance the safety and quality of our outdoor learning, play and general wellbeing. It has a separate play area for the early years children and a separate one the primary children, an aquarium, a football field and a quiet area for staff.
Because children are naturally inquisitive and ask lots of questions we encourage and guide them in answering these questions. This innocence of the children is gradually building a transparent culture in our school community that encourages staff to ask questions, challenge the norm and find better ways of doing things!
Just like the analogy of the goose flying in ‘V’-formation so they all make the journey home, our teachers are supported and helped through trainings, workshop, mentoring and coaching to succeed in their classes and in the school as a whole – Collaborations is one of our strongest core values at KPS.
