Paddington British Private School, The Woodlands | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We LOVE everything about Paddington! Where to even begin!?!

Campus: From the moment we toured the school, we could see the tremendous amount of detail and planning that went into every building and classroom. The campus is adorable! It is exactly what we pictured a children’s school should be.

Academics/Fine Arts: We wanted an actual school, not a daycare, for our kiddo. Paddington is an amazing school at all grade levels. All classes follow an excellent age-appropriate curriculum for kids not only to develop the expected skills and knowledge but to excel academically, socially, and emotionally. At Paddington, children receive a well-rounded education that includes not only Math, Science, Reading, and Writing but also an extensive Fine Arts program that involves Art, Music, Theater, and more. All children ages 3 and up participate in a few performances throughout the year, e.g.: Character Parade/Performance, Holiday Musical, Spring Musical, etc. It is incredible what children are capable of accomplishing if only given the proper guidance. These performances are a must-see! In addition, every month, children study a specific artist and instrument. They learn about and replicate various works of art, attend numerous recitals and performances for anything from the pipa to bagpipes to piano, etc. And as if that wasn’t enough, children attend/participate in tons of themed events throughout the entire year e.g.: Holidays Around the World, butterfly release, Dr. Seuss Month, Paddington’s Birthday, Pumpkin Patch, Snow Day, Splash Day, Supermarket week, Post Office, Election Day, visits from Veggie Lady, Policemen, Firemen, Pilot, Nurse, Dentist, field trips and special presentations (primary grades), and many, many more.

Staff: Paddington has a great campus and an excellent curriculum, but its superpower is, without a doubt, its wonderful staff. The amount of dedication, passion, effort, patience, and love these teachers and administrators pour into the school day in and day out is immeasurable. What an extraordinary group of people!! They make every day of these kids’ lives awesome. I have witnessed it firsthand for the past five years and look forward to continuing to do so for two more.

Parental Involvement: Paddington’s staff fully understands the importance of nurturing positive parent/school relationships, and what an impact this can have on student achievement. For this reason, Paddington offers a plethora of opportunities for parents to be involved and engaged at school. Not only are parents able to see/talk to the teachers on a daily basis (at drop off/pick up) but we can also be part of the PTA, be homeroom parents, help with class parties, book fair, carnival, attend and help with many of the other special events, etc. The more you put in, the more you get out!

Our kiddo truly loves and enjoys going to Paddington. Every single day, he wakes up super excited and happy to go to school, which in turn makes us, parents, very happy. We were thankful and relieved when primary grades were added, and we didn’t have to switch schools. We definitely wish they could continue past 4th grade, but at least we get to enjoy a couple more years. We are so very blessed and proud to be part of Paddington.

As soon as we toured Paddington, it was love at first sight. And we have enjoyed 5 years at this school. All three of our daughters have attended. We have experienced preschool-1st grade here. Although it is a bit of a commute for us, no other school compares so it has been worth it.
Things we love:
-Amazing, experienced teachers. Many of whom I now call friends.
-Huge secluded campus, each classroom themed and cozy
-We did not want a daycare, we wanted a true school. Children go to class in the morning, and clubs of your choosing in the afternoon. They are not forced to nap. You do not have to pay for an entire day if you only want them to go for a few hours, or a few days of the week.
-Large forested playground and an indoor playground for rainy days
-Tons of themed events throughout the year that the children look forward to

Special note: We had all 3 girls attend Kindergarten here. It has been a wonderful, gentle transition for them before heading to public school. The reading program is very strong, with 2 of our girls reading chapter books half way through. Our youngest who has struggled with reading has had a massive break through.

We were very blessed to have Ms. Sarah as our Kindergarten teacher for two of our girls, and she has now taken over as Head of School. She is a super woman. Incredibly hard working, driven, and insightful. She is making excellent changes, and leading the school in a great direction.

We will miss Paddington! Thank you for everything 🙂

Witnessing magic unfold at Paddington British Private School has been a heartwarming experience. Here, our children are not just students but dreamers and stars, nurtured by an extraordinary performing arts program.

The recent performances of Mary Poppins and musical tributes to our earth and community were enchanting. Our children brought every note and step to life with boundless energy and passion, transforming the stage into a world of joy and wonder. The environmental and community-themed musical pieces were heartfelt hymns celebrating our shared beauty and responsibility.

Paddington’s program is a creative garden where our children’s talents bloom, fostering confidence, teamwork, and artistic expression. We are profoundly grateful to the dedicated staff whose love for the arts and commitment to each student’s growth create an environment where dreams take flight.

Reflecting on the year’s performances, our hearts are filled with pride and joy. Paddington has given us cherished memories and a vibrant community where our children’s dreams are celebrated.

Here’s to the magic of the arts, the wonder of our children’s dreams, and the extraordinary community at Paddington British Private School.
We eagerly await more captivating performances and the continuous growth of our young stars in this remarkable program.
