About Us

The preparatory school standard has always existed. It has simply never been shared.

The UK's leading independent prep schools hold their pupils to clearly defined academic expectations. Those expectations are documented, taught and assessed against. They are not, however, made available to families outside those schools.

What prep schools know What most families have access to
Maths and literacy benchmarks by term National curriculum overview
How children are actually assessed  End-of-year reports with no external benchmark
How to identify a child working above the national standard Generic assessment preparation materials
How critical early years learning is Anecdotal guidance from other parents

Early Advantage was built to close that gap. Our resources are drawn directly from independent school curricula and assessment frameworks. The aim is simple: to make elite early years expectations accessible to every family that wants them.
