The Radlett Route
At RPS, everything we do is shaped by one clear purpose: to prepare children not just for the next school, but for the right senior school. As a proudly standalone prep, we take time to understand every child’s strengths, interests and ambitions, guiding them towards the environment—independent or state—where they will truly thrive.
Our curriculum blends academic ambition with a genuine celebration of childhood, nurturing confidence, character and curiosity alongside achievement. Small but mighty, our school ensures every pupil is known, supported and challenged in equal measure.
Choosing The Radlett Route means giving your child the strongest possible foundation—academically, socially and emotionally—so they move forward with clarity, confidence and joy.
But don't just take our word for it; read our parent testimonials!
Family of Sam – Habs Boys Academic Scholar:
Our son Sam had a wonderful experience at Radlett Prep School. He thrived academically, built strong friendships, and had incredible opportunities to pursue his love of sport. The school were very helpful and supportive towards us as a family. Most importantly they treated him as a real individual, understanding his strengths, and encouraging him to push himself. The eleven plus process can be a daunting one, and we were very grateful for all their support in preparing him - and us - for what was to come. Sam was awarded offers at all of the schools that he applied to, including three academic scholarship awards. He settled in at Habs right away and is incredibly happy there. It’s a school that encourages ambition, curiosity, courage and community - all values that were embedded during Sam’s time at Radlett Prep School.
Family of Reya - Habs Girls:
“Radlett Prep gave my daughter outstanding support, a wide range of opportunities and a love of learning, all within a warm and encouraging environment. From day one, she was inspired to explore her curiosity and take on challenges. The variety of experiences she enjoyed, the school’s guidance in finding the right next school, and the strong foundations she built socially, personally and academically have meant she has continued to thrive in her first years at Habs Girls.”
Family of Niam – Merchant Taylors’ School Academic Scholar:
“Radlett Prep School were incredibly supportive throughout my son’s education, and particularly helpful during the 11+ process. The guidance, and encouragement they provided helped him not only prepare academically but also built confidence and resilience at a crucial stage. Communication with us as parents was clear and thoughtful, and the school clearly understood how to get the best out of him as an individual. As a result, the transition to Merchant Taylors’ has been smooth and positive, with him arriving well-prepared, settled and ready to thrive. We are extremely grateful for the role Radlett Prep played in setting these strong foundations.”
Family of Zaccie and Carter – Aldenham School:
Radlett Prep School has played an instrumental role in preparing both our boys for their move to Aldenham. The support and guidance they received throughout the 11-plus process was exceptional — both academically and pastorally. The teachers struck the perfect balance between maintaining high expectations and nurturing confidence, ensuring the boys were not only well prepared for the exams themselves but also calm, focused, and self-assured throughout the journey. What has stood out most is how well Radlett equipped them beyond the entrance process. They were taught how to think independently, manage their workload, organise themselves effectively, and approach challenges with resilience — all essential tools for secondary school life. The emphasis on responsibility, curiosity, and strong study habits has meant they transitioned to Aldenham feeling prepared and capable. We are incredibly grateful for the foundation Radlett Prep provided. It gave both our boys the academic grounding and the personal confidence to thrive in their next chapter.
