Independent Day Secondary with NO SATURDAY SCHOOL?

Hi all

My ds is 9, and enjoying life at a private prep school so we are looking for a (preferably co-ed) day school but weekends are sacred to us and thus we'd prefer to finish the school week on a Friday evening.

I notice Hampton School do this - is there anywhere else? Looking in Home Counties and London plus Oxford/Dorset/Hampshire/Wiltshire (we are happy to move!).

Thank you everyone.

St Johns Leatherhead - but if sporty you will be there most Saturdays anyway

My non-sporty son goes to St Albans and he has had to go to school on Saturday maybe three or four times a year...

Don't know any with Saturday school. I think it's pretty much phased out even in schools with boarding

Hi OP

Where in London? Off the top of my head, schools without Saturday school are:

Northbridge House
Portland Place
King Alfred
Highgate (although I'm not sure about this to be honest)

All of these are co Ed. However, if you are down in south west London, perhaps this isn't all that helpful.

I don't think the international schools have Saturday school.

It probably depends if he is sporty as matches are often scheduled at weekends. Tbh most predominantly day or weekly boarding schools don't have Saturday school ime . If your ds is at a prep the head should be able to advise.
