Parkside is a very special school with a best in class leadership team, a creative and high energy teaching staff and a unique ethos that nurtures every child. As a family we enjoy a wonderful sense of community at the school and have made many life-long friends. Parkside School is distinctive in that every teacher knows every child's name and caters for their unique needs and personalities.

Parkside is a wonderful, forward thinking, family orientated and traditional prep school. Nurturing with a focus on excellence in education and sporting achievement, we couldn’t have selected a better school to fit our family values.

The passion and kindness of the teaching staff and leadership team shines through in every aspect of school life and can be seen daily through the warmth, enthusiasm and joy they bring to the boys. Being part of Parkside’s community, which is built on fellowship and camaraderie, has enabled our three boys to thrive in a secure environment that they love.

We have recently moved to Parkside and have had nothing but a positive experience. The number one priority of the school is the boys and this is apparent in all areas, academic progress and development, sporting achievements and the boys’ happiness and wellbeing. We have watched our sons flourish in all aspects of school life at Parkside and that is credit to the fabulous teaching staff but also the overriding culture of the school.

We chose Parkside for our son because we felt the school truly cared for the boys. Our initial feelings couldn't have been more right, Parkside has proved to be the perfect choice for our son who has loved every minute of his time there and has made many lifelong friends.

Parkside has provided an amazing environment for our sons to learn, mature and enjoy school life. The care and commitment by the teachers have seen the boys develop and perform to their best. There is a lovely relaxed, friendly and inclusive atmosphere which has certainly brought the best out of our sons.

I am always delighted to accept young men from Parkside as members of the RGS.  I have been very impressed with the academic standards which are being achieved at the School but, more importantly, boys from Parkside are delightful additions to our community.  They are invariably engaging, polite and academically curious, skills which have been established and nurtured at Parkside and which will hold them in very good stead for the future.

We were delighted to be able to make three Unconditional Offers to Parkside boys this year. Like the prep school at Parkside, Tonbridge specialises in the education of boys. We are academically selective and Parkside boys are well prepared for the academic rigour here. Similarly, boys from Parkside easily transition to the depth and breadth of co-curricular pursuits at Tonbridge, including music, sport and the creative arts. The intellectual curiosity and enjoyment of these activities is nurtured at Parkside and flourishes at Tonbridge as the boys reach their teens. 35 miles along the M25, we are not that far away either! We very much look forward to developing our relationship with Parkside in the years to come.

Wellington College has been lucky to have had a steady stream of excellent Parkside boys join us over the recent years and we would be more than delighted to see many more! There is an a real passion for learning evident in the boys that we have met but this passion appears to extend beyond the classroom too and hence aligns very closely for what we look for in Wellingtonians. We also note tremendous values in the Parkside boys we have met and this explains the wonderful atmosphere evident in the school whenever we visit.

(Halliford and Parkside) schools share a set of core values that sees us completely committed to seeing each student as an individual and doing everything possible to enable them to flourish and make the most of the many opportunities we are able to offer them. The confidence and maturity they develop in Year 7 and 8 at Parkside greatly contributes to our warm-hearted community at Halliford. Parkside students thoroughly embrace our values of creativity, respect, warm-heartedness, resilience, intellectual curiosity and being exceptional team players. It is no wonder that a number of Parkside boys have been awarded scholarships to join Halliford School. They achieve tremendous academic success at both GCSE and A Level thanks to the tremendous academic grounding they receive at Parkside, and they always fully immerse themselves in our wide variety of co-curricular activities and trips. The boys transition extremely quickly into life at Halliford, and we believe they benefit from our comparable size and ethos. Parkside boys contribute enormously to our school community, and it is our pleasure to celebrate their successes as members of the Halliford family.

At Parkside, we believe that every child has immense potential and our mission is to nurture their talents, inspire their curiosity and guide them towards a bright future. From the early years to the final stages of their education, we strive to create an environment where each milestone is recognised and celebrated.

Our aim is to nurture pupils to be the best version of themselves by the time they take their next steps in the educational journey: Destination Senior School. The 2024 Year 8 Leavers secured impressive offers when they were in Year 6. The following 2 years were spent preparing the pupils for the Common Entrance exams, leadership training, careers guidance and pastoral development. The final two years at Parkside are pivotal for pupils achieving their full potential and developing the character and determination to succeed. Through their ambition, tenacity and plenty of hard work, these boys left Parkside to go on to some impressive results

“[Tonbridge is] academically selective and Parkside boys are well prepared for the academic rigour here. Similarly, boys from Parkside easily transition to the depth and breadth of co-curricular pursuits at Tonbridge, including music, sport and the creative arts. The intellectual curiosity and enjoyment of these activities is nurtured at Parkside and flourishes at Tonbridge as the boys reach their teens.”

Pre-Test Programme

Parkside School’s Year 5 Pre-test Programme is a carefully planned and detailed programme for boys entering Year 5, to help prepare them for their Senior School Pre-test in the Autumn term of Year 6.

Pre test programme process

Parkside’s Pre-test Programme starts as early as the summer term of Year 4, where an individual learning profile is prepared. This ensures that, at the beginning of Year 5, assessments give crucial data analysis of each pupil's ability, their strengths and weaknesses.

In spring term of Year 5, a Pre-test Information Evening is followed by one-to-one meetings with the Head, who discusses each pupil’s data and progress, and suggests the best option Senior School choices individually with families.

Extension and booster groups run throughout the year and into Year 6, running alongside exam preparation, culminating in mock interviews with members from a range of Senior School Leadership teams. Study skills workshops, strategies for memory retention and leadership days are all part of the programme, underpinning individually tailored and focussed preparation for the consolidation of key information, skills and techniques. Wellbeing workshops provide continued pastoral support for the pupils and assist in managing stress levels.

As always, you provide such great insight and advice… I never fail to leave any meeting without being filled with confidence….. Ms Janssen’s insight and advice have been invaluable.” 

Every year, Parkside celebrates outstanding success with unconditional offers given to pupils for Year 9 entry from Senior Schools such as Tonbridge, Charterhouse, Hampton, RGS and Reed’s. Ultimately, we ensure that your child finds the right Senior School for them personally, which takes into account his or her abilities and learning style, to ensure a continued transition in their educational journey into their next school.

 “The confidence that he was able to show in the interview and going into assessments was down to the kindness and positivity and encouragement (and skill, obviously!) of all the teachers at Parkside.”

Congratulations to all of our boys on their personal goals, achievements and mountains they have climbed this year.  By showing grit, determination and hard work, we are proud of each and every one of them and look forward to welcoming our next cohort into the Pre Test Programme.
