Western Province Preparatory School is an independent preparatory school for boys in Cape Town, South Africa.
Western Province Preparatory School was founded in 1914 by two young English schoolmasters, Geoffrey Stansbury and Raymond Hutchinson. They rented Thornton House in Kenilworth and enrolled 26 boys but by 1918 the school had expanded and Mount Royal in Newlands Road, Claremont was bought. The school remained under the leadership of the Stansbury family until 1959 when it became affiliated to St Andrew’s College, Grahamstown. There followed a period of rapid expansion and a series of visionary headmasters.The school celebrated its centenary in 2014. Currently there are 457 boys at the school.
The school currently has two sites (referred to as campuses): Eden Road and Newlands Road - Newlands being the senior half of the school. It has 3 sports fields:the Dauncey,the Mount Royal and the Douglas Murray;and a 25m swimming pool. The newest building on the Newlands side is the Centenary Pavilion built for when the school turned 100.
