What the school says...
Welcome to a nurturing school with a big personality.
Giving a child the best possible foundations for a bright future is a true privilege. Our fantastic facilities give pupils tremendous scope for achieving the academic, sporting and creative excellence that we encourage.

I look forward to helping your child thrive too.
Gareth Hughes,

He recalls, ‘In an appraisal meeting, I said, “What next?” to which the response – which I’ve never forgotten – came, “I can see you as prep school head.”’ Even after all these years, he still seems touched by what he calls ‘a leap of faith on their part, as well as mine.’
