Blackheath Prep is an outstanding school located in South East London. We offer an exceptional education that is well-balanced across the academic subjects, sport and the arts, in addition to a superb extra-curricular offer, supportive pastoral care, and wraparound care that meets the needs of busy parents. Our facilities include a newly refurbished Nursery, purpose-built Science lab, Library and Gym, 2.5 acre sports field and three Forest schools, providing ample space for our pupils to roam, discover and have mini-adventures. Our new Nursery, extensively re-furbished in 2025, offers a wonderfully spacious and creatively designed setting for our youngest pupils. Take a look here. By the time they leave us in Year 6 our pupils have achieved outstanding results in their 11+  and are well-equipped to embark on the next stage of their education. Each year our pupils secure outstanding senior school and scholarship offers from the leading independent and grammar schools in London and Kent. As part of the Eltham College Family of Schools, our pupils also benefit from a priority application process for those who wish to select Eltham College as their choice of senior school. Be part of the Blackheath Prep adventure!

We do lots of fun lessons like DT – I made a flowerpot and a butterfly in DT! I really enjoy planting seeds and I like learning new things. My favourite subject is Science because it’s really interesting. My three favourite things about school are DT, Science and Art.
