Teaching & academics

The standout feature here is scale: a pupil-to-teacher ratio of about nine to one is well below what many schools manage, allowing teaching to be closely tailored to individual children. As an ISI-inspected independent prep, it prepares pupils for the next stage of their education within a small, attentive environment.

Beyond the classroom

Boarding is available, with weekly fees reaching up to £29,964, giving the school a residential dimension beyond the standard day timetable. Mobile phones are kept out of the school day, and boarders may use them only during supervised, set tech-time sessions.
