Staines Prep Provides a Happy Foundation For Life…read more The area's longest established co-educational school, Staines Prep offers an excellent all round education for boys and girls from the age 2 1/2 - 11. It isn't just about passing exams, though pupils do well at that too. It's also about developing a positive, confident attitude to life, good citizenship, physical well-being and a hunger for knowledge. Personal development is key: every child is treated as an individual and given the chance to explore, to ask questions and seek answers. This happens with the help of great teachers, superb classroom, IT and laboratory facilities and excellent play facilities. Staines Prep creates enthusiasm and encourages a positive attitude and interest that extends through art and music to the environment and the world outside. As headmaster Peter Roberts said recently, "It remains vitally important to focus on the whole child and provide wide-ranging opportunities that help develop their confidence and general well-being. At Staines Prep we provide all of this in a nurturing environment that enables the pupils to flourish."

My cousin studies management here and once she told me this story about her Strategic Planning teacher: The professor was holding a black book and was like "This book is red, right?". Obviously they all denied and said it was black. He insisted and then turned the book showing its back cover which was red. He said to the class "You shouldn't tell someone they are wrong until you've seen things from their point of view". I don't know what kind of education they offer at this college, but I want my professors to be like him if I ever apply to one.

Hampton Hill Junior School is a large (360 pupils) junior school nestled on St James' Avenue not…read morefar from Hampton Hill High Street. It is housed in a rather picturesque building dating from the 1920s, though it has been expanded and improved since. Hampton Hill Junior School educates pupils from years 3 - 6 (ages 7 - 11), and is linked with Carlisle Infant School (meaning that in most cases, pupils will finish Carlisle in year 2 and progress fairly seamlessly with their classmates into HHJS). The headteacher, Bill Jerman, is excellent. He is a strong leader, taking no guff from the children! He impressed me particularly when my daughter attended. I was writing a paper (I was a mature student doing a part time degree) on religious education and collective worship, and asked, after a parent teacher evening, if I could attend a 'normal' (as opposed to harvest) assembly. He told me I could, and we arranged a date. It occurred to me afterwards that I hadn't told him who I was. I arrived on the appointed day, worried that no-one would be expecting me, but sure enough, he greeted me, got me settled before the children arrived, and then discussed the yearly assembly programme and RE scheme of work after the assembly. My daughter had good teachers with a couple of truly excellent ones. The school runs extension programmes for gifted children which benefited my daughter, and also taught French (in a fun, non pressurised way) to its year 6 pupils. All in all, this is a very good state junior school, which prepares its pupils admirably for secondary school and beyond.

In addition,they are in the heart of Hounslow next to the high street and a Bus Station. But best of all they provide a free assessment that determines how many hours your child needs and whether it is suitable for you.Finally, they are flexible and every week you can change which day and what times you can go. I really recommend this Tuition since for the price you get a valuable education. Also, my daughter attends this tuition and she has made great progress over time
