The School

Founded in 1807 by a group of non-conformist Christian ministers and City merchants. In 1827 it moved to the buildings which form the central part of the main school. Palatial, neo-classical and magnificently designed, they lie in 120 acres of wooded parkland in the green belt 10 miles from the centre of London.

There has been much development in recent years, and facilities and accommodation are very good, including most recently a new indoor swimming pool and studio theatre. The junior school (Belmont) is a few hundred metres away and together with the pre-prep school (Grimsdell) allows for continuous education from 3 – 18. Now completely co-educational; girls were admitted aged 13 in 1977 after 20 years in the sixth form. A well-run school with long-established high standerds, it regards hard work, self-criticism, enthusiasm and loyalty as paramount virtues.

There is a major initiative which places much of the curriculum in a European context.. It is strong in music, art and drama (a new theatre centre). A very broad range of games and sports is provided, and standards are high (regular England players in hockey, cricket and rugby; close links with Saracens rugby club).

There is substantial commitment to local community schemes and a highly regarded CCF contingent.
