Waverley Prep School is thrilled to be ranked 'Best in Berkshire', being the only school appearing consistently in The Times Top 100 Prep schools for the last 11 years (read more here).  Waverley's grammar school results are also outstanding and the school is currently ranked top Primary / Prep School in the Reading and Wokingham area. Rankings are based on the academic results of our Year 6 pupils. We feel our results are testament to the combination of modern and traditional teaching methods, small class sizes, single form entry and a warm, caring environment where children thrive.
