Our take

Independent boys senior school in Surrey for ages 4–11.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Families seeking a senior school for ages 4–11, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
  • Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
Watch-outs
Know before applying
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
  • SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
  • Single-sex (boys). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
