Generally I get the feeling that Thomas's is more traditional and strict, while NP is more open, less disciplinarian, and accepting of diversity.

I hope more people will share their experiences about both schools ...

We just accepted a place at the Newton prep nursery and I am sure i will have the same dilemma as yours next year. We will attend an interview and Thomas's so if we get offers from both schools I will be truly torn. Love Newton prep and Im sure my son will get used to it from the nursery and have friends there. I also fell in love with Thomas's Battersea and find lots of sports opportunities there. Well balanced school. So not sure which one of the 2 I would go for and hoping to have more clear view in a year time...

I don't have children at either, but I looked at Newton Prep and loved it. The art department, library and general 'feel' of the school was lovely, and the children seemed happy and confident. I think they are quite different schools though. When you say 'better', do you mean academically?

Is any suggestion which school is better? We are currently choosing between Thomas's Battersea and Newton prep. Could you please share your experience about these schools?
