Banstead Preparatory School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Banstead Preparatory School is an independent co-educational day school for pupils aged two to eleven, located on the outskirts of Banstead in Surrey. The school was formed in September 2017 through the merger of three local independent schools — Greenacre School for Girls, Priory Preparatory School and Bramley School — and now occupies the former Greenacre site, which has been redeveloped and furnished with age-appropriate resources. Pupils are welcome from the age of two in the Nursery, and from the age of five in the prep school. The school is owned by United Learning, a charitable company, and is overseen by a local board of governors. It aims to provide children with a broad and varied curriculum, equipping them with skills for life while helping each child grow in character and be the best they can, every single day. The school believes that happy children learn best and confident children go far. Pupils come predominantly from local professional and business families, whose varied ethnic backgrounds reflect those of the local area. The school supports pupils with a range of special educational needs and disabilities, as well as those who have English as an additional language and those identified as more able, adapting the curriculum to meet a variety of learning needs.
