Academy 2025 was a truly memorable celebration of everything that makes our school so special. Across two wonderful events, our Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils came together with parents, families and staff to recognise not only academic excellence, but also the character, determination and kindness that define our school community.

We are incredibly proud to share the exceptional outcomes of our most recent Catholic Schools Inspection, conducted in February 2026. The report judged Loyola Prep to be Outstanding in all areas, the highest possible recognition, and a true reflection of the dedication, care and ambition that define our school community. 

The boys thoroughly enjoyed their recent Now Press Play session, an experience that brings learning to life and captures their imagination from start to finish.

As we reach the close of our Christmas term, it is a perfect moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the many wonderful experiences and achievements that have shaped the past months at Loyola. From the excitement of welcoming our newest Kindergarten and Reception boys in September to supporting our Rudiments boys as they prepare for their 11+ exams and take confident steps toward the next chapter of their educational journey, this term has been filled with growth, learning, and community spirit.

Last Tuesday, we came together for a moving Remembrance Day assembly, led with great maturity and respect by our Prep boys. The occasion was made even more special by the presence of two Beaver leaders, who joined us to honour the sacrifices made by so many and to help our boys reflect on the importance of remembrance in our lives today.

The Elements boys recently had an exciting and educational day at The Hive in the Forest, where they combined hands-on science with outdoor adventure. The trip was full of discovery, teamwork, and fun, perfectly complementing classroom learning.
