THE MEAD SCHOOL
The Mead School is a co-educational prep school for circa 235 pupils, situated in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, approximately 400 metres from the historic Pantiles.

School must be an exciting, fulfilling and safe place where every day, whether you are aged three or eleven, is a new adventure and positively anticipated.
The school enjoys a reputation of high academic standards within a caring, happy environment. Children are prepared for the highly selective Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools as well as a wide range of
Independent and maintained secondary schools. Care and consideration are given to ensure each child enters the secondary school best suited to their needs.
The Mead strongly believes that every child should feel success, realise potential and become life-long learners. To this end the development of the 'whole child' is at the heart of all it does.
For a child to achieve their academic potential they must be given the opportunity to explore and develop physically, culturally, morally, socially and spiritually.
A wide range of extra-curricular activities and educational visits is offered to suit and attract each individual and thus provide the self-confidence and motivation to enable pupils to explore and develop their personal strengths and interests.
Each child is taught to have courtesy and consideration for others, whilst individual goals and talents are encouraged, stimulated and nurtured to develop the whole personality.

Tennis and cricket are played at The Nevill, children swim at Crowborough Leisure Centre and the annual Summer Show and Prizegiving are held at The Trinity Arts Centre to name just a few examples.
The school is an active member of The Independent Schools Association (ISA).Pupils partake in regional and national competitions and learn that the world and all it has to offer the confident and open minded is the greatest of all learning environments.
