Herne Hill School is an independent Pre-Prep and Nursery well known within its area of South-East London as an oasis of happy learning and as the largest feeder into the Dulwich Foundation Schools. We are an accredited member of the Independent Schools Association and of the Independent Schools Council.

By focusing on Early Years education, we have developed a strong expertise in making the critical transition from Nursery to School seamless.

Children joining our Nursery or Kindergarten can avoid the disruption of a 4+ change and have continuity for up to five years in what are arguably their most important formative years. Children joining in Reception also benefit from the smooth progression from a play-based learning approach to more structured lessons.
