THE SECRET GARDEN SCHOOL

Shustoke, Warwickshire, West Midlands · B46 2RJ

With just 62 pupils on its roll, The Secret Garden School is a notably small independent in the village of Shustoke, Warwickshire. The mixed, day-only setting means small classes and a closely held community rather than the scale of a large institution. Entry is at age 11, with an 11+ assessment, and the school is inspected by the ISI. Families drawn to an intimate environment over breadth of numbers will find the size central to its character.
