Priors Court School
Thatcham, West Berkshire, South East · RG18 9NU
With around 64 pupils, Priors Court School is among the smallest independent settings a family might consider in West Berkshire. The school is mixed and non-denominational, and offers boarding alongside day places at its Thatcham site. Its intimate scale means a markedly low pupil count compared with most independent schools, which tends to suit families seeking a close-knit environment rather than a large institution.
