Headteacher's Welcome
A message from our Head of School, Mr. Michael Murray
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Abuja Preparatory School, a vibrant and nurturing community where every child is inspired to Discover, Develop, and Deliver.
At Abuja Prep, we believe that education at its best is both rigorous and joyful, and that it is possible to achieve both simultaneously each and every day. Our strong academic backbone, anchored in the Cambridge International Primary Programme from Year 1 upwards, ensures that every learner builds firm foundations in literacy, numeracy, science and critical thinking. Alongside this, we offer a rich breadth of experiences through art, sport, music, PSHE, student leadership and drama, because we know that children thrive when their creativity, confidence, and curiosity are truly ignited.
Keeping one eye firmly on the future, we also offer courses in coding, robotics and ICT, against a backdrop of strong online safety and shared responsibility. And we never forget where we are: Abuja, Nigeria. Indeed, Abuja Prep is an international school with a truly Nigerian heart and we celebrate this each week through our carefully structured Nigerian Studies curriculum...

Our mission to Discover, Develop and Deliver underpins everything we do:
- Discover: Children are encouraged to explore ideas, ask questions, and engage actively in their learning.
- Develop: Through high-quality teaching, enriched learning experiences, and a supportive environment, each child grows in skill, knowledge, and character.
- Deliver: We empower pupils to apply what they have learned confidently, creatively, and responsibly, preparing them for Secondary School and the world beyond our gates.
Every child who walks through the doors of Abuja Prep is known, valued, and supported as an individual from their first day here. Through personalised attention and a warm, family-like atmosphere, we ensure that children not only grow academically, but also socially, emotionally, and morally. Our teachers take time to understand each learner's strengths, challenges, and unique potential, ensuring that all children make progress at their own level and in their own way.
Whether in the classroom, on the stage, on the sports field, through artistic expression or demonstrating leadership and teamwork, our students are becoming adaptable, thoughtful, and future-ready young people.
I warmly invite you to visit Abuja Prep, where you will see joyful learning, dedicated staff, and children who are genuinely excited to come to school every day; indeed they are proud of their school.
We hope to see you here soon!
Early Years Foundation Stage
The Early Years Foundation Stage is a framework used in the UK that sets the standards for learning, development, and care for children from birth to age five. It ensures children receive high-quality early education through a play-based, child-centered approach that supports their personal, social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. EYFS lays the essential groundwork for lifelong learning by focusing on key areas such as communication, literacy, mathematics, and understanding the world.
