Welcome To
St Columba’s Prep

We welcome you most warmly to the Prep School, a unique and happy place to learn in the heart of St Albans. We are proud of our reputation for high academic achievement with first-rate pastoral care. With the legacy of Father Coindre and his mission to help form young people of character and value, we aim to launch pupils on their individual journeys to becoming well-rounded, socially aware young people who are equipped and confident for twenty-first century society. Our Prep gives children the opportunities to flourish and grow. Your child will be known, valued and treasured. Relationships are at the core of our modus operandi.

As you explore our website, we hope you will be inspired by a sense of what makes our school so special. We extend a warm invitation for you to visit us on a working day: come and meet our wonderful pupils, chat to members of our friendly parent body, tell our caring staff all about your child and how we can give them the best possible start. We look forward to meeting you.
