Welcome from the Headmistress

I am delighted to welcome you to Sandroyd School, a leading UK Prep School with boarding at its heart. Our children are afforded time, space and attention to grow and develop, in an idyllic setting where they can take advantage of a truly holistic and classical approach to education.

Our youngest children join us in our bespoke Garden Cottage Nursery at 2, or into our Pre-Prep at 4. Set in our magnificent walled garden, surrounded by woods and wildlife, these youngest children have the advantage of benefiting from the warmth and close attention of a school which nurtures children’s development. A place where children’s natural curiosity and zest for life, their joy in simple pleasures, and their energy and optimism are embraced and kindled.

Our older children join us at 7, into a Prep School which focuses on helping every child fulfil their potential, in a supportive and ambitious community where your sons and daughters will be championed and challenged. Our children are lucky enough to be part of a school which takes full responsibility for nurturing every aspect of their lives, from their academic development, to their social skills and emotional intelligence. We want the very best for all our children, and we feel exceptionally fortunate and privileged to work alongside parents in helping to shape childhood, and to give our girls and boys the very best preparation for their senior schools and beyond.

Founded in 1888, this is a school which is cherished and revered by all who have been lucky enough to be connected with it over the years. Do come and visit us, and see what it means to be part of this wonderful school today.
