Additional source record ·
Prestfelde is a happy and flourishing school of over 350 pupils, aged 3-13. The School prides itself on its academic, musical, sporting and artistic achievements, but also on its ability to foster positive attitudes, respect for others and a love of learning in all its pupils.
Prestfelde is set in 30 acres of parkland on the eastern fringe of Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire. It is readily accessible by road and close to other major towns and cities. Originally an impressive gentleman s family residence, Prestfelde House, together with Beckbury Villa and Highfield House (and their land), became a school in 1929, and Prestfelde is now recognised as a leading provider of education in the UK.
While Prestfelde s facilities are second to none among local prep schools, the glory of Prestfelde remains its extensive grounds, unexpected to many visitors even those who live locally. The more than 60 species of tree within the grounds reflect the interests of a former teacher who planted many of them; they change with the seasons and form a colourful backdrop to this special place.
