Maldon Court Preparatory School is an independent co-educational day school situated in Maldon, Essex. Founded in 1956, the school was purchased by its current proprietor in 2004, and his daughter became headteacher in 2013. The proprietors are supported in their governance of the school by an advisory Board of Visitors. The school comprises three sections: a registered nursery unit for children aged under two, the Early Years Foundation Stage for children aged three to five, and a preparatory school for pupils in Years 1 to 6. Pupils come from predominantly professional families in Maldon and the surrounding towns, and the school supports those with special educational needs and/or disabilities as well as those identified as more able. The school aspires to foster a love of learning in which the talents of each pupil are recognised and valued. It seeks to promote the traditional values of kindness, respect and courtesy, and to create confident, happy pupils who are well prepared for their next step in education.
