Safety & Security

Our carefully appointed teachers, house parents and well-equipped security staffs are set to work together to ensure that a safe and secure school is ours. The school campus has CCTV surveillance of all entrances and exits, fire extinguishers and a range of security equipment.

Boarding

Hostels are purpose-built for comfort and efficiency. A healthy rural environment with lots of fresh air yet close to the city of Akure.



There are separate hostels for boys and girls with adequate conveniences (showers, toilets and laundry areas), common rooms with adjoining flats for staff members.

There are four houses at Preston - Aqua, Shekinah, Terra and Tornado. Every pupil belongs to a house. The house system at Preston is set up to engender and foster a closely knit, vibrant and caring community. As part of the positive assertive disciplinary policy at Preston, every pupil wins or loses house-points which are totted up at the end of the week. At the end of each term, the house with the highest number of points has a party!

Medical Care

The school has a well-equipped sick bay where pupils are looked after by competent, qualified health practitioners.



There are residential full time qualified nurses employed to be available 24/7 should any child fall sick unexpectedly. Also, the school is afilliated to one of the best hospitals in town where students receive the best possible medical care by qualified doctors.



Referrals to Hospitals are made whenever required.

Laboratory

There are various laboratories for Biology, Physics and Chemistry for the senior secondary curriculum. However, there is an Integrated Science laboratory for the junior secondary school.

The science labs provide an array of instruments and other equipment for children to try out practical experiments and learn new things. There are also lots of visual teaching aids and models some of which can be dismantled and re-assembled again. All these are geared towards delivering enthusing and interesting lessons during which our pupils learning is accelerated.
