OUR STORY
Grand West Pre-Prep is part of Rocket Productions, the family that transformed the landscape of early childhood education in London. When our first Pre-Prep opened in 2009, it became a catalyst for change.
Founded by Stuart Bamford, Rocket’s award-winning Pre-Preps are where imagination, architectural design, and academic excellence collide. With Ofsted Outstanding recognition and global acclaim for creativity and innovation, our schools are immersive, research-informed, and beautifully original.
At Grand West, adventure awaits every day, reflecting Notting Hill’s spirit of exploration and community, endless hands-on imagination, all powered by a little rocket fuel.
SOCIAL IMPACT
From their earliest days, Rocket children grow up seeing themselves as changemakers, part of a bigger world they can impact for good. Whether collecting food for The Felix Project or gifting starter kits through Little Village, we nurture active empathy and social impact.
Through Rocket Earth, our non-profit arm, our Rocket educators volunteer in schools abroad to co-create sustainable, joyful learning environments — grounded in play-based pedagogies, social-emotional development and community collaboration.
Back home, sustainability it’s a way of life. Through our Ecological Thinking & Circular Creativity pillar, children reimagine waste, repurpose materials, connect with nature and develop the mindset of global citizens. From classroom to community to planet, we’re raising hearts, minds, and futures that reach far beyond our walls.
Future Schools and Holistic Family Support
At Rocket, our commitment extends far beyond the classroom. With unmatched relationships across London’s top Prep schools, our Next Schools Specialist and Head Teachers provide tailored, expert guidance through every step of the 4+ journey and future entrance assessments. Beyond admissions, our exclusive Rocket Concierge surrounds families with a curated ecosystem of support, from Rocket Talks webinars to our digital Dispatch to a trusted directory of specialists. It’s not just a school. It’s your child’s future, exceptionally guided with a village of support.
