At the end of Prep 6, every child stands on the stage at Cadogan Hall and gives an individual, creative and heartfelt presentation to their parents and their peers, to reflect on their time at Parkgate House and to look ahead to their time at senior school. The confidence, humility, resilience and sense of humour on display is a true testament to both the families that join our community, and the strengths of a Parkgate education.
