Creating Confident Children

At The Wallace High School Preparatory Department and Pre-Prep, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional primary and pre-preparatory education in a warm, inclusive environment.

Our vision, Creating Confident Children, shapes a school experience where pupils are encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We follow a holistic, whole-child approach that balances high academic standards with strong pastoral care, tailored learning support, and a deep commitment to developing each child’s confidence, and creativity.

Children benefit from a rich and varied curriculum that includes extensive sporting, musical, and artistic opportunities, alongside an exciting outdoor learning programme that promotes curiosity, resilience, and wellbeing. Our distinctive location affords pupils rich opportunities for outdoor education, complemented by direct access to the extensive resources of the Grammar School.

Underpinned by our CORE values—Commitment, Opportunity, Respect, and Excellence—Wallace Prep offers a nurturing, future-focused education where every child is known, valued, and inspired.

We hope this website gives you a glimpse of the vibrant life at our school—but nothing compares to experiencing it in person. We’d be delighted to welcome you for a visit and show you all that Wallace Prep has to offer. To arrange a tour, please contact the office on 028 9267 2311 or email prep@wallacehigh.net.


We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Mrs Anna Patterson
Head of Preparatory Department

P5 started learning about fractions this week and to help with this they got creative in designing their own pizzas. Afterwards, they wrote a few sentences to describe how they had split up their pizzas using fractions and new vocabulary from our topic!
Just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better... out came the bumboards! 🛷💨 After a fantastic session on the slopes, the group blew off some steam with plenty of spills and thrills sliding down the hill. We finished up in the best way possible: clutching mugs of hot chocolate loaded with marshmallows under the night sky. ✨🍬
We’ve had a fantastic day on the mountain. Our beginners took the gondola up and made incredible progress, confidently tackling blue slopes by this afternoon! ⛷️ ​Meanwhile, the intermediates thrived while exploring a huge range of runs and building their skills. We capped off the day with a fun evening shopping trip to Madonna di Campiglio. A perfect end to a very full day! 🛍️❄️
Another action-packed day! 🏔️❄️ Our beginners made huge strides and are ready to head higher up the mountain tomorrow, while the intermediates are officially flying down the runs with total confidence! ⛷️💨 Off the slopes, the fun continued with games and a scenic walk to town. To top it all off, pizza night was enjoyed by all with some authentic Italian slices! 🍕😋 Everyone is recharged and ready to do it all again tomorrow. 💤 #SkiTrip #WallacePrep
Pre-Prep were very busy yesterday practising their balancing, rolling and throwing with some of the P6 and P7s!
Everyone is making good progress on the slopes. There was even time for games at lunchtime- no one is missing phones or iPads!!
After a few airport delays, the skiers finally arrived late last night! Everyone was grateful to touch down and wake up to this winter wonderland. Today was all about skiing, laughter, and making the most of every run. ⛷️✨ #SkiTrip2026 #PrepSkiTrip #FirstDayOnTheSlopes #WallacePrep

Happy New Year! 🎉
This half term in PE, KS2 pupils are exploring dance and gymnastics. In their first lesson, they focused on travelling movements at different height levels while choreographing group routines to a Pirates theme 🏴‍☠️. All groups showed great teamwork, creativity and confidence, and gave thoughtful feedback to help refine their performances. Enjoy a few snippets of some of the amazing routines!
