Spring Grove

Spring Grove is a happy family independent IAPS prep school for boys and girls aged 2 - 11. Located in Wye between Ashford and Canterbury just off the A28 and close to the fast rail link into London, our grounds offer one of the most beautiful playgrounds in Kent; our staff offer a first class education preparing children for both grammar and senior independent schools.

At Spring Grove we specialise in free range children: we will develop all who join Spring Grove to their full potential, academically, socially, physically and emotionally in a supportive, caring and friendly community. We are able to do this because we have small classes in which our children receive expert attention. Within a beautiful rural setting our school is small enough for us to know every child and their family and encourage them to support the school motto of “Always Do Your Best”. Our children are happy and confident and the school owns a wonderful family atmosphere. Sport and Music are particular strengths: 80% of the children in Years 2-6 are learning a musical instrument; everyone sings. We play a wide range of sports and were National IAPS Cross-Country Champions in 2011. We offer a wide range of subjects and extra-curricular activities and enjoy pushing the boundaries of conventional education. We love to sing, play, create, talk, laugh, act and run; above all, we love to learn. We have the ideal setting as it is small enough for every child to be known. Our teachers are interested in all aspects of our children’s progress and we work closely with parents in ensuring that every child fulfills their potential. Our classes are small ensuring that each child receives maximum attention. I am confident that Spring Grove children move to their next schools well-prepared for their next stage of learning.
