Further Information: Famed co-ed full-boarding prep within easy reach of Gatwick. Lots of freedom within a formal structure; aims to bulid confidence, but also good manners. Academically muscular and most children get into their first choice of senior school. Brilliant pastoral care: friendship, and learning prioritised over facilities - a good defence against charges of old-fsahioned and well-worn dorms. Almost everybody boards (it's compulsory in the last three years). Affulent but relaxed families, parents turn up to matches, plays and to experience the Leavers' fairy liquids foam slide!
