"The Drive Preparatory School provides a good quality of education and meets its aims. A parent echoes the views of the majority when saying, '˜Teaching staff demonstrate great devotion to pupils; my child is motivated to learn and enjoys school.' The good curriculum places a great emphasis on pupils' personal development and well-being and so their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding, as is their behaviour. Good teaching and excellent day- to-day care ensure that pupils make good progress in their learning. Safeguarding arrangements are robust and the provision for pupils' welfare, health and safety is good. The school has rectified all the areas of non-compliance identified in the last inspection and now meets all of the regulations for independent schools."
