From the street, all that is visible of St Faith’s Prep is a handsome Victorian villa, but venture through the gates and you will discover a vibrant and exciting school, bursting with energy and the joy of learning.  

St Faith’s is an independent prep school and nursery for boys and girls aged two to eleven. Located in the village of Ash, we serve a broad catchment area covering much of East Kent, including Canterbury, Dover, Sandwich, Ramsgate, Herne Bay and all points in-between.  With five acres of playgrounds, sports pitches, an all-weather court, swimming pool and distant views of the beautiful Kent countryside, the school and nursery offer extensive opportunities for outdoor play and learning. 

Our happy, inquisitive children enjoy discovering the wonders of the world around them.  Class sizes are kept small, allowing the school to provide individually tailored learning to ensure that each pupil achieves his or her potential. As a result, despite being non-selective, we have an outstanding record of success in the Kent Test, with a high percentage of our Year 6 leavers typically securing places at the local grammar schools.  A good number of our talented Year 6 pupils also gain major scholarships to local Independent Senior Schools.  

At St Faith’s, pupils benefit from a broad and exciting curriculum in a safe and nurturing environment. On completing their time at the school, pupils leave happy, confident and well prepared for the next stage of their education.  Competitive sport is highly prized, and pupils regularly take part in football, netball, hockey, cricket, rounders and cross country competitions.
