Headmaster
I am delighted to welcome you to St Piran's School, one of the most exciting, inspirational, and family-centred preparatory schools in the country.
At St Piran's, we believe education is about more than just academics. It is about nurturing the whole child, with a strong emphasis on our core values of Kindness, Inclusion, and Respect These values are embedded in everything we do, shaping our vibrant, supportive community where every child is encouraged to grow in confidence and character.
We are proud to be the only independent school in Maidenhead offering all our facilities on one site, open 50 weeks of the year. This unique advantage allows us to provide a continuous and enriching environment where children have the space to grow and thrive.
Our talented and dedicated teachers challenge pupils academically while also fostering their creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking skills. With a wide range of enrichment, cultural, and sporting opportunities, we ensure that every child is engaged and inspired to participate fully in school life.
At St Piran’s, we are committed to providing a warm and welcoming environment where every child is known, valued, and cared for. Our holistic approach prepares children not only for academic success but also to become compassionate, balanced individuals ready for their next steps in life.
I look forward to meeting you and introducing you to our school.
