The Prebendal School

Welcome to The Prebendal School, a highly successful co-educational, day and boarding, preparatory school in the heart of Chichester.

At The Prebendal School, children can grow and mature in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment, whilst developing skills, ambition, confidence and resilience for the future.

Positive relationships and inclusivity are at the heart of our culture. Our children's individual strengths are fostered by our highly qualified, professional and caring staff. Through our broad range of academic subjects and co-curricular activities, we offer opportunities for all our children to discover their personal talents and realise their full potential. Almost every child plays a musical instrument, and all ​of our children actively participate in a wide range of sport and musical opportunities at our school. We aspire to achieve excellence in all that we do and aim to instil intellectual curiosity, with a genuine love of learning. From Beach School to performing in the Cathedral, our children are encouraged to challenge themselves in every aspect of school life; they leave our school at the end of Year 8 as confident, accomplished and well-rounded individuals, ready to succeed at senior school and beyond.

Our core values of integrity, compassion and aspiration are central to every aspect of our school and provide the framework for our vision for the future. We are committed to building on success; our pupils have every opportunity to compete at the highest levels, with the majority of our students achieving impressive scholarship awards to their chosen senior schools each year. We care deeply for our students and are committed to their wellbeing, equipping them with the tools to thrive in an ever-changing world.
