Welcome to Vita et Pax Preparatory School
It is a privilege to welcome you to Vita Et Pax, a school with an almost 90 year old tradition of academic excellence and personal achievement. As Headmaster, I am honoured to lead a school where the highest standards of scholarship are matched by a deep commitment to character, courtesy, moral and social development.
At Vita Et Pax we strongly believe education should be both rigorous and enriching. Our pupils are challenged to think critically, act with integrity, and pursue knowledge with curiosity and determination. The breadth of our curriculum, complemented by a well developed programme of sport, music, drama, and the arts, ensures that every child has the opportunity to flourish and to discover their individual strengths.
Our ethos is grounded in respect, discipline, and tradition, values which continue to prepare our pupils not only for success in examinations and for secondary school life, but also for leadership and responsibility in later life. Small classes and dedicated teaching allow us to nurture both talent and character, producing young people who are confident, articulate, and prepared to contribute meaningfully to society and the wider world, to which we all owe responsibility.
We are immensely proud of our heritage and longevity, with equal ambition for our future. I warmly encourage you to book a personal tour of the school with me, to meet our staff and pupils, and to experience first-hand the distinctive spirit of Vita Et Pax.
Please contact Maria Castro in Admissions, to organise a tour.
