Griffin House School
Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, South East · HP17 0XP
A small independent school in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Griffin House educates around 171 boys and girls from the ages of 3 to 11. Its compact size means each year group is intimate, which can suit families seeking a more personal, closely supervised early education before the move to senior school. The school has no religious affiliation and is day-only. At its most recent inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, it was judged good, with personal development also rated good. Parents should note, however, that the school did not meet the regulatory compliance standards at that inspection, an area worth raising directly with the school.

The last word
A small, personal prep for younger children under the leadership of Mrs Joanna Leach; the good inspection rating is encouraging, but parents will want to ask how the unmet compliance standards are being addressed.
