Proudly Independent – Why It Matters at Twyford

At Twyford, we’re proud to be one of the few truly independent prep schools — and we believe that makes all the difference.

This independence gives us the flexibility to shape our own path. It allows us to focus on what’s right for each child — to stretch them, support them, and help them grow in a way that fits their individual strengths and passions.

We’re also free to innovate. This autonomy allows our leadership to shape a curriculum that reflects our values and to respond quickly to the needs of our pupils — without waiting for decisions from above. Our teaching is personal, creative, and grounded in what works for the children in our care.

As a fully independent prep school, we’re free to put your child first in everything we do. That freedom means we’re able to offer truly impartial advice when it comes to senior school choices. With strong relationships across a wide range of schools, we can guide families honestly to find the path that best suits their child — not one persuaded by external affiliations.

Senior schools often recognise the advantage of this independence. Children from independent prep schools arrive not only well-prepared academically, but also as confident, adaptable, and self-motivated learners. They’ve had the space to grow, the encouragement to think independently, and the support to become the best version of themselves.

At Twyford, your child is not a junior member of a much larger system — they are a full participant in a school designed entirely for them. Our independence empowers us to offer a complete education, one that prepares children not just for the next school, but for life.

In a world that increasingly values personalisation, adaptability, and strength of character, our independence gives us the clarity, flexibility, and purpose to deliver all of that — and more.
