Richmond House School

Leeds, Leeds, Yorkshire and the Humber · LS16 5LG

A small Leeds prep school founded in 1935, Richmond House educates around 231 boys and girls from ages three to eleven. Its modest size lends it an intimate character, and the most recent Independent Schools Inspectorate review judged it excellent both for the quality of education and for pupils' personal development, with all compliance requirements met. Under headteacher Mrs Sharon Young, the school takes children through the early years and primary stages before they move on at eleven.
