It is with great pleasure and pride that I lead AESG Prep School. The overwhelming warmth from the girls, parents and staff make the school such a pleasure to be a part of and it is through being an integral member of this interconnected family that the girls truly thrive.  

The key life lessons and foundation blocks to both academic and life success, such as reading, writing, social skills and learning habits are carefully crafted and nurtured in the Prep School’s classrooms, which makes these first years so precious for each and every girl. Our school motto – ‘Aspire to Be More’ – informs our commitment to have extremely high aspirations for all our pupils. We set ambitious goals for all the girls, believing that they are capable of achieving excellence if we give them the tools and guidance to support them. 

We strive for an inspirational curriculum, which enables our girls to experience awe and wonder at the cultural, spiritual and physical world that they are a part of. I want them to embrace the intrinsic rewards that achievement in all manner of fields can provide and to be enthused by the pleasure of learning. We aim to educate all members of AESG to the highest levels of academic achievement, to enable them to reach and expand their potential and to prepare them to become responsible, caring, creative and compassionate members of society. 

As a father of two young children myself, I know that seeing them safe, happy and enthusiastic is every parents’ wish and that these are essential elements to allow pupils to achieve academic success, develop resilience and support them in reaching and surpassing their potential. 

With the support of staff and parents, we want the girls at AESG to bask in the success of today while being prepared for what they may face tomorrow: working together to empower the girls in this endeavour.
