The Marist Preparatory School, Sunninghill - reviews

[nitsmits]

Hi, We are planning to move to Sunninghill in. Months time and looking for good independent girls school in nearby area. The one school very near to where we are moving us The Marist Preparatory School. Can anybody tell me how us the education there? Just to add that we are not Catholic.

I don't know about the prep but the senior school seems to produce a particular type of girl, which may be something that appeals (or not).

Wonderful pastoral care. Polite, well-rounded and engaging pupils. Strong academically, but not pressurised. My friend's 3 daughters were all very happy there and went on to the Marist Senior School; one now a doctor, one reading law at a top university and the third just got top A Level grades and is planning on teaching physics.

I went to the prep school from reception to year 6 and was happy most of the time there although there were some very strange teachers. My biggest piece of advice would be not to go to the senior school like i did, though. I, and many of my friends moved after the first couple of terms. The prep school really does push you to move up to senior and were very unpleasant to many of my friends who went elsewhere.
