Anyone got any knowledge of this prep school, good or bad? The internet seems to be very silent on the subject, I can only see their official website. No independent chatter. Exam results look good and we're very impressed by the website but wondering if anyone had inside knowledge!

Son wouldn't be starting for 2 years yet, in the nursery.

My ds1(14) had a friend who went there (they are both now at highly regarded grammar together). I don't know the parents that well but they have sent their two youngest boys there too so assume they must have been pleased with it?

Daughter of friends goes there. She is a lovely girl and they are VERY happy with it.
It does not need to shout about itself - it has a nice catchment and clear routes onwards.

Dad worked there before he retired, and was very sorry to leave :)

Really well regarded academically and the most beautiful grounds - including stables! Well worth looking at.

I went there many years ago - and it was the best few years of my life. The grounds are stunning, the ethos is remarkable and - from what I hear - they are going on to some decent I'm going to visit as a possible for my own son. But shhh! If it’s still as good as it was then it is a secret we want to keep!
