Blackheath Prep is an outstanding school located in South East London. We offer an education that is well-balanced across the academic subjects, sport and the arts, in addition to superb pastoral care and excellent wraparound care. Our facilities include a 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. At Blackheath Prep our pupils benefit from a rich and broad education from Nursery upwards, and when they leave us in Year 6 they are well-equipped for the 11+ process and 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. Additionally, 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.

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.
