If you were near Newbridge Crescent in Wolverhampton, you might pass hundreds of cheery and elegantly dressed children with eyes gleaming with hopes, dreams and determination.

These are the pupils of Newbridge Preparatory School, a school that is situated in an early 20th-century house, where children are encouraged to have a dream in mind and to strive to reach it.

The school's motto, 'Dare to dream it... Work to achieve it' is a code that not only pupils live and learn by, but an ethos for the facilities staff, who support and believe in the possibilities of each and every child. 

Newbridge is a standalone prep school where our young ones are offered an education that is tailor-made for their individual growth and needs, with a curriculum that balances music, arts and culture, with sport and academia.

Surrounded by a beautifully manicured ground filled with academic spaces, the school is the picture of not only elegance and prestige, but also kindness, support, and the inclusivity of all.
