The White House Prep goes from Strength to Strength

Hot off the opening of their new Performing Arts Studio, The White House Prep continues to go from strength to strength with their recent recognition in “The Sunday Times Top 100 UK Prep Schools”. The school was listed at number 2 in London and number 16 for the UK.

This is a fantastic achievement and a huge testament to the hard work and academic focus of the children and their teachers.  What impresses most is that the children not only achieve such high levels in these national assessments but do so alongside a myriad of other interests and commitments from music to sport to science and enterprise.

The new Studio also recently welcomed two Prima Ballerinas from the Royal Opera House to lead workshops in Romeo and Juliet and perform a private show for the children. The children learnt to jump like Mercutio, strut like Tibault and glide like Romeo. It was extraordinary and the children were so lucky to have had the experience. Boys and girls alike are now feeling totally inspired by becoming ballerinas.

 

 

 

The White House Prep encourages enterprising pupils

Hot on the heels of the White House Prep's Plastic initiative (a drive led by children to reduce plastic waste) "Enterprise" lessons have now launched at the school, a weekly lesson designed for children to think outside of the box using all the skills they learn in their day-to-day subjects. Whether that be planning and budgeting for a class trip, making their own board games for their peers to play or designing their own theme parks. Getting to grips with budgeting, marketing, pitching and working together, amongst a host of other skills, whilst having a lot of fun has proved very successful and is now a firm (and popular) part of the curriculum. As Headmaster Tony Lewis says, “responsibility is the ability to respond appropriately and something we want for all our children. It demands perception and critical thinking, also independence of mind with informed decision making.” Understanding that this is not something that can be taught but it can be learnt. It needs to happen in a context rather be viewed as an academic or intellectual exercise. These various enterprises (which differ from class to class) will all come together on Enterprise Day, a pupil led fun fair with a host of activities in which the children take a leading role both in the planning and the delivery and will raise money for the school charity, Medical Detection Dogs. 

NEW HEADMASTER FROM SEPTEMBER 2017

From September 2017, we will welcome a new Headmaster, Tony Lewis, to the White House School family. Tony has extensive experience as a Head, having recently been Headmaster at St. Nicolas Prep School in Kensington, which has an Outstanding rating from the ISI and SIS. Tony's expertise working in a co-educational school with children from 2.5yrs-11yrs and familiarity with the all important 11+ exams is invaluable and we know he will continue to develop and improve the school.

Prior to his appointment as Headmaster at St. Nicholas Prep, Tony was a long-standing Housemaster at Stowe from 2001-2011 and then Head of International Development for the school. He has many years teaching experience, having taught since 1984. With a speciality in the Humanities, particularly History, Tony is excited to introduce Headmaster's Lessons which will give him the opportunity to work with our classes across the school. Tony is committed to continuing to further enhancing academic standards and is looking forward to working with parents to enhance the experience of the children.

 

BRITISH RED CROSS VISITS THE WHITE HOUSE

The British Red Cross visited The White House Preparatory School to talk to the Year 6 children about First Aid. The workshop included learning CPR and how to help if someone is suffering from a seizure. It was a fun and engaging way to teach the children about health and help them learn important life skills.

New School Building
The White House Prep School is delighted to showcase its new school building. Designed by award-winning architects, vPPR, the new building adds an additional 6000sq ft to the existing school site and comprises four additional classrooms and large hall, with floor to ceiling windows throughout. This growth has allowed for the development of specially designed SENCo, Clubs rooms, Science Lab and Art room further enhancing the school's impressive facilities. Sustainability and a low carbon footprint are at the heart of the design and the eco-credentials of the building are outstanding. The newly designed gardens are a wonderland for children, complete with dry riverbed, hedgehog runs, teepee and bird-hide tree house. The focus here has been on creating space for pupils to develop their imaginations and be surrounded by nature. The amphitheatre will be used for small class drama and outdoor art lessons, the bird hide will also be used for quiet reading and will host an outdoor library with a focus on the natural world. The garden was completed when the Head Boy and Head Girl planted two trees to honour Her Majesty The Queen and His Majesty King Charles III. 
 
 
Speaking of the expansion, Mary McCahery Founding Principal said "The White House is a school dedicated to excellent academic outcomes, achieved through our unique supportive family environment, that puts children at the heart of everything and creates that ‘protective family environment’ . I want for all the children that come here to have the widest range of opportunities to find their passions and to equip themselves with the curiosity for learning and skills that the wider world will require of them.
 

We will always come back to the core question that should always be at the heart of a school “what is best for the children”.  We firmly believe that as a family owned school, our investment is for the long term - a multi-generational approach which blends the best parts of tradition with a drive to find innovation, whether in the curriculum or learning styles to ensure the best outcomes for our pupils."

New Studio at The White House Prep

The White House Prep, located between Balham and Clapham unveiled The Studio, a dedicated performing arts space with floor to ceiling mirrors and tailored acoustics. Music, Drama, Yoga and Ballet classes along with certain clubs and performances over the year will now be held in this dedicated Arts space and will continue to enhance the rich extra-curricular activities the school offers.

The White House Prep School - Cancer Charity

This year, The White House Prep School in Balham has chosen Children with Cancer as their school charity. Based in Great Ormond Street, Children with Cancer is providing vital research into cancers most commonly found in children, including leukemia. Gemma from the Children with Cancer team, visited the White House Prep this term to talk to the pupils about their amazing research and to encourage them with different fundraising ideas. The White House Prep children behaved wonderfully and were very mature about this sensitive subject and are now busy thinking of ways they can raise money, including a bake sale and a fun run in the playground. 

Successes at The White House Prep School
 
Earlier this year, The White House Prep children entered the 500 word challenge and we are delighted to announce that one of our pupils has made it through the first round, beating off 96% of the competition. Year 6 pupil Umar Syed's The Stranger has been selected from 131,798 entries to be one of the 5,000 to go to the Reading Agency for the second round of judging. We wish him all the best for the judging for the final 50! 
 

 

We are also delighted that our Year 5 pupil, Edward Watson has won a Fourth Plinth Schools Award 2017 for his work  'London life goes round'. Every year City Hall invite London’s primary and secondary school children to create artworks, inspired by the commissions for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square and London life so this is an excellent achievement. There was a special exhibition to showcase his work at City Hall. Artist David Shrigley and Deputy Mayor for Culture Justine Simons presented the award to Edward on 27th April and his work will continue to be exhibited at City Hall for the year. 
 
These highlights have been recognised through our recent ISI inspection where we are delighted to announce that we received an Excellent rating across the board! 
 
Expansion Plans at The White House
After being the first school in the area to open to all year groups in Summer term, The White House Prep continues to impress with their recent announcement of their exciting expansion plans. Over the last year the school has purchased the adjacent building and have been working with award-winning architect, vPPr, to create a completely new and sustainable building on the site. The proposed design is for a two storey building that will provide a large, double height open plan space and dining hall on the ground floor and flexible focused learning space on the first floor. In addition thoughtful consideration has been given to both the front and rear gardens which will remain laid to lawn with trees and natural planting. The rear garden will offer a "Sensory and Well-being Garden", a fantastic addition to their outdoor space, especially for our younger children. Set to open in Autumn 2021, we can't wait to visit! 
ENGINEERING AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Engineering at The White House Prep in Balham is going from strength to strength. This term sees the pupils start building an electric car from scratch, designing the artwork for the body of the car and racing it around the playground. The children will then have a chance to race the car at the Goodwood Racetrack as part of the Gathering of the Goblins annual event. The children are also very excited about the arrival of new chromebooks to enhance their IT and Coding curriculum and 3-D printer so they can start turning their CAD (computer aided designs) into a reality. 

The White House Prep meet an Adventurer
The White House Prep welcomed adventurer Nick Carter to the school to talk to Years 4, 5 & 6 about his most exciting escapades and inspire them to think of their own challenges. Nick Carter has climbed Mount Everest twice, ran across the Sahara and is now planning to go caving to the deepest part of the earth.  

The children were fascinated with his incredible stories about his journey and all the events and problems he encountered along the way.  This was such an inspirational presentation which all the pupils thoroughly enjoyed. They even got the chance to try on Nick’s equipment that he used on Mount Everest! 

The Sunday Times Top 100 UK Prep Schools

The Headmaster, Daniel Cummings, is quoted as saying:

"I am very excited to be able to announce that we were included in “The Sunday Times Top 100 UK Prep Schools” . We were listed at number 10 in London and number 54 for the UK. This is an excellent achievement and we are delighted to have the hard work of our pupils and staff recognised in a National publication. As important as National recognition can be, I would like to add that this has confirmed what we see throughout the school every day and we are all very proud to be part of such a wonderful school."
