About us:

Alleyn Court Preparatory School is a co-educational day preparatory school located in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, catering to children aged 2 to 11 years. Founded in 1904 by Theodore Wilcox, the school has a long history of providing quality education and was owned by the Wilcox family until 2015, after which it was transferred to a charitable trust​​.

The school is known for its high academic standards and an excellent reputation in sports and performing arts. It provides a rich and inclusive curriculum designed to prepare students for future secondary schools. Notably, over half of its pupils secure places at one of the region’s Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex (CSSE), indicating the success of its academic programs and the high standards to which pupils are prepared​​​​.

Alleyn Court Preparatory School maintains a balanced gender ratio with an equal mix of boys and girls, and it operates as a Church of England school that is open to children of all faiths and none. Its admissions policy is non-selective, and the school operates independently, not tied to any one senior school. This standalone nature underscores its commitment to providing tailored education focused on the needs and potential of its students​​​​.
