Good afternoon and welcome to Cottesmore, one of the leading country prep schools in the UK.

Cottesmore is a thriving and vibrant preparatory school for boys and girls aged between 4 and 13.

Our school ethos is based on sound principles of nurturing the whole child in a happy and secure family atmosphere.  The 150 boys and girls in our care enjoy a stimulating academic environment preparing them for entry to top public schools, supported and encouraged by dedicated, enthusiastic staff.

We are large enough to be competitive in academic and sporting standards and facilities, yet small enough to allow each child to develop and explore their individual talents, strengths and interests.  

Time for fun and friendship is essential in achieving the correct balance for the children’s well-being and we offer a comprehensive choice of hobbies and activities, from chess to scuba-diving, as well as the space in which to play.

Cottesmore is situated in 35 acres of our own beautiful grounds, itself surrounded by 1000 acres of parkland.  The school is within easy reach of major transport networks: we are close to the M23 and Gatwick airport, while central London is less than an hour away.

Do come and visit us to experience our happy, busy school. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
