A school for life
Welcome to The ºìÐÓÊÓƵ, a thriving independent nursery and day prep school for girls and boys aged 6 months to 13 years in Bletchingley, Surrey.
In a warm, family atmosphere we give each child every opportunity to realise their potential through academic achievement and by engaging in activities which build their confidence. We wish to fuel each child’s enthusiasm for life and encourage them to engage with the world they live in.
We are delighted to be part of the award-winning Caterham Family of Schools.
