Mrs Becky Hanson joined Wycliffe Prep in September 2011 and, over the past 15 years, has taught a wide range of year groups and subjects. During her time at the school, she has held several key roles, including Head of House, Pastoral Lead, and Head of English. These diverse experiences have given her a comprehensive understanding of what makes Wycliffe such a dynamic and thriving school, as well as a deep appreciation of the values, relationships, and sense of belonging that make our community so special.
Throughout her career, Becky has been committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, secure, and valued. She believes that when children feel known and supported, they are able to engage fully in school life, develop confidence, and achieve their potential. Creating an environment in which pupils feel happy, inspired, and excited to learn is central to her educational philosophy.
Becky is passionate about recognising and nurturing the unique talents and strengths of every child. She believes it is a privilege to guide pupils as they discover their interests, develop their skills, and embrace new opportunities. Whatever stage of their academic journey they are on, she is dedicated to helping each child flourish, grow in confidence, and achieve the very best of which they are capable.
We celebrate diversity, and in our beautiful countryside Cotswold grounds, children have the freedom to explore and be themselves in a caring school community. Our Prep School lays the foundations for pupils to thrive, and prepare themselves for Senior School; fostering a lifelong enjoyment of education and preparing them for an interconnected world.
With small classes and a high pupil to teacher ratio, we can give highly personalised attention to the learning of your son or daughter with all ages catered for. We understand that every pupil has different needs and small class sizes mean we can tailor teaching to meet your child’s requirements.
The care, security, welfare and happiness of our pupils comes first, as we believe that a happy child, free from worry, will learn and achieve more. While this is something we have always been passionate about, the pandemic has highlighted this even more so and we are even more passionate about ensuring the well-being of our pupils is looked after in a variety of ways.
From sport to performing arts, our facilities and specialist staff mean we can deliver a diverse, challenging extra-curricular programme to suit all pupils with something on offer for everyone. Wraparound care is also included, which means Day pupils can undertake activities after school; ideal for busy families.
At Wycliffe Prep School, reading is more than a subject; it’s a passion that underpins everything we do. Each pupil is encouraged to develop a lifelong love of books, stories, and ideas, and our Prep Library provides a welcoming, inspiring space for this to flourish.
Our Prep School is split into two stages: Middle Prep and Upper Prep. This allows pupils to develop in a structured, well-rounded way; following a broad curriculum at each stage.
