Griffin House School provides an outstanding education in a happy and nurturing environment where every pupil is exceptionally well cared for.
Welcome to Griffin House Preparatory School
At Griffin House we place great value on giving pupils the opportunity to flourish in all areas of school life. Throughout the school, we promote an atmosphere where a high level of achievement is valued. We aim to create a sense of happiness and warmth in which pupils are motivated to work and play to the best of their abilities. Both inside and outside the classroom, we generate a sense of vitality based on the principle that learning is fun.
The needs of our pupils are central to all that we do and we know that their success, both now and in the future, will be built on foundations of happiness and security and so we tailor our teaching to the needs of every child.
Our small class sizes and individualised learning environment ensures that your child will be given the attention and support they deserve to excel and have an exceptional education. Our dedicated teaching staff provide a wealth of opportunities for every child to find their passion and reach their potential in the classroom, on the sports field, in the arts and as caring and kind human beings. We are proud of our excellent local reputation and our ability to unlock your child’s full potential, preparing them for the next stage in their academic life.
We consider ourselves to be very privileged that parents have entrusted us with the care and education of their children and we value the contribution that parents make to the life of the school. Griffin House is a very happy community and I would be delighted and privileged to show you around our school and talk to you about how wonderful it is!

A special visitor came to visit Little Griffins!🩺👩⚕️
Dr Moussa came to see us and showed the children what she keeps in her doctor’s bag. They even had a turn using some of the equipment themselves which was very exciting! As part of our learning about how our bodies work, the children were fascinated to hear from a real expert and asked some brilliant questions.🩻
Thank you again @drhend.moussa for your visit!

What an unforgettable night at the O2!🎤🎶✨
After weeks of rehearsals, our choir performed alongside 8,500 children in London’s biggest arena and they were absolutely amazing.🌟 Their energy, behaviour and huge smiles made us so proud!

👮♂️✨ PC Alex returns! ✨👮♀️
We were delighted to welcome PC Alex back to Griffin House - this time to share all about the important work the police do and how they help to keep us safe! 🚓
Our children listened beautifully, asked some fantastic questions, and especially loved the chance to try on the police hats… what a treat! 🎩👏

Supporting Children’s Mental Health Week 💚
In support of @_place2be ‘s children’s mental health week, we explored what it truly means to belong. Together, we talked about how feeling safe, happy, and included helps us grow and thrive.
Our children created special Worry Boxes, a safe space to quietly share their thoughts and feelings. They also designed personal maps, highlighting the people, places, groups, activities, and even feelings that help them feel connected and valued.
Because when children feel they belong, they flourish!🌟

We loved welcoming author Chris Smith to Key Stage 2 this term. Our pupils were captivated as he shared his brand-new book inspired by the Famous Five, along with stories from his writing journey and his wonderfully unusual sources of inspiration!
A creative workshop featuring a weird guinea pig sparked plenty of laughter, and an extract from The Twits Next Door had everyone in stitches! Signed books and inspired young writers made it a visit to remember! 📚✨ Thank you again @chrissmithstagram !!
