Mr Chris Wright
Head of Prep And Pre-Prep
The approach of Duke of Kent School Pre-prep and Prep is to excite, engage and promote a love of learning within our pupils. There is an emphasis on participation and effort, whereby we encourage each and every pupil to try their hardest across the breadth of our varied curriculum. We strive to develop confidence, provide opportunity and ignite imagination and creativity. In turn, we believe that this will enable each child’s achievements to flourish.
We have an enthusiastic, creative and passionate staff team with a broad range of interests, talents and experience. Our excellent relationships with parents support the progress of the pupils in every area of their development.
