Success

DCPS has a strong tradition of sporting success with teams competing at national, county and local level. It is School policy that every child has the opportunity to play for a School team, every term. Tours for the School teams take place on a regular basis, the most recent of which was a hockey tour to Barcelona.

Pre-Preparatory _(2-7)

Dean Close Pre-Preparatory School, fondly known as the ‘Squirrels’, is set in the beautiful grounds of Dean Close School, in a modern, purpose-built building. We have excellent facilities and resources and also benefit from being able to share in the outstanding Preparatory and Senior School facilities on site. We understand that a child’s first experience of school is a vital step in their learning journey, developing the knowledge, skills and self-confidence which lay the foundations for their lives.
