History

Kew College Prep began in 1927 ^[1] as a small school located in a room above a shop in Kew. As the number of pupils grew, the school moved to a large Victorian house in Cumberland Road. In 1953 the school expanded into a second house in Cumberland Road. It became a charitable trust in 1985. ^[1]

Present day

Kew College Prep averages 292 pupils between the ages of 3 and 11. ^[2] Children start in the nursery and stay at the school until the end of Year 6 when they move to secondary school. ^[5]
