The Oratory Preparatory School
The Oratory Prep is a leading independent Catholic day and boarding school for children aged 2 to 13 years.
Boarding is an integral part of school life, providing a hugely popular, enjoyable, and enriching experience for children aged 7 upwards. We strive to create a ‘home away from home’ environment where children feel happy, secure, and part of a close-knit community.
鈥淭he staff are experts. I leave my children knowing that they will be stretched, supported and developed in every way possible.鈥� Armed Forces Parent
Our Boarding House, located in the main school building, is made up of distinct areas for boys and girls, offering a selection of shared rooms where full-time, weekly, and flexi-boarders live together. Our friendly, familial atmosphere is made all the more richer because of the diverse mix of children from many nationalities.
