We lay solid foundations for a future relevant lifelong love of learning. A truly nurturing environment for your child to grow. Situated in Horsforth and acknowledged as one of the North’s leading independent prep schools, we welcome over 180 pupils between the ages of 3 and 11. Children are at the heart of everything we do and we are passionate that they enjoy a positive experience, in a caring, structured and secure environment. To ensure we are laying solid foundations for a lifelong love of learning, to gain knowledge and skills, and develop personal attributes, relevant to their futures, we have made significant investment in our early years provision creating bespoke-designed classrooms and continuous access to an exceptional outdoor space.
