Cottesmore is an award-winning academic boarding prep school for girls and boys in West Sussex, less than an hour from London. Cottesmore excels at 'modern' boarding, its huge range of sports, hobbies and activities supplement a diverse academic curriculum. The drama, music and arts programmes are equally purposeful and vibrant. Cottesmore has been preparing children for major public schools since 1894 and continues to provide excellent preparation for senior boarding schools who share Cottesmore's belief in nurturing a rounded, dynamic individual. 'Everyone has a talent' is Cottesmore's unofficial motto. Cottesmore will find and nurture each child's talent, help the individual grow strong in the light of his or her own success and to have faith in their own ability in a caring, confidence-inspiring environment. Cottesmore is 'Prep School of the Year' 2020/21 by Tatler Schools Awards and also won the Times Educational Supplement 'Boarding School of the Year' in 2019.
