Handcross Park, set in beautiful surroundings but very conveniently located just off the A23 and close to Haywards Heath, Horsham and Crawley, is committed to providing the best start in life for children from 2 to 13.

The Nursery, situated in the Secret Garden and accommodated in well-designed and purpose-built classrooms, offers a wonderful environment in which to begin the exciting adventure of your child’s school career. With an excellent staff to pupil ratio throughout the Early Years and small class sizes right the way through the school, the emphasis is on the individual as part of a supportive community.

As well as providing a high quality academic education for all children, the School’s friendly and caring staff focus on nourishing the creative, musical and sporting aptitudes of the pupils. With a dynamic Music Department, inspiring Art Studio, excellent sports coaching and facilities and well-equipped Science, IT and Design Technology Rooms, pupils are offered the best opportunities to foster and showcase their talents.

If the cost is at the forefront of your mind you’ll be pleased to hear that the Government Education Grants are welcomed for those in the Early Years. The School also offers Scholarships to children who excel in the classroom, on the games’ fields or in the performing arts, and where there is a financial need, bursaries are available.

From the Nursery through to Year 8 the School ‘offers exceptionally supportive pastoral care for its pupils’ and this, coupled with a focus on achieving high academic standards, ‘results in confident and happy pupils who leave the school very well-prepared for the next stage in their education’ (ISI Inspection Report 2007)
