About Alpha Preparatory School
I am delighted to welcome you to Alpha Preparatory School’s website. Although the whole world has gone through some challenging and different times recently, it is a privilege to be leading the School at an exciting time in Alpha’s history: the 2024 - 2025 academic year marks Alpha's 129th anniversary.
All of the children in Year 6 watched online as the final took place to see if our ‘We Mean Green’ team could take home a prize… Dr Alex Homes, Head of STEM at BIEA, spoke highly about the Alpha Team and how the children had really challenged themselves and the Team also showed through their final interview that they could work together collaboratively to create and present their design.
Congratulations to our largest ever Eco Warrior Team of Representatives from Nursery to Year 6 who will be looking after us here at Alpha to ensure we are mindful of our world and they will be encouraging us to be more ‘green’.
