It is a great pleasure for me to write some words of introduction to the Northwood Prep web site. The school was founded by Francis Terry in 1910, its original location being on the premises of St. John's Church. As the school grew in numbers, new accommodation was found, first in Eastbury Road and then at its present site (Moor Farm) in 1982.

Throughout these developments, Francis Terry's original vision of the school has been maintained. A Christian, caring environment has been established where each pupil is valued for himself, each is given the opportunity of full development, and all concerned - pupils, staff and governors - strive for excellence.

Northwood Prep has a strong academic tradition. We are committed to maintaining this whilst preserving the correct balance between the academic, spiritual, emotional and physical needs of our pupils. We seek to develop character and a right sense of values. We aim not only to deliver high levels of teaching and learning, but also to cater for the needs of each pupil through an extensive range of extra-curricular and sporting activities.

Headmaster.
