A Word from the Head

Comment: ‘Perrott Hill School gives the individual space and time for a full education.’ The last two inspections were highly successful.

Perrott Hill is a home from home, a small prep school with a strong family ethos. Robert Morse, the Headmaster, is determined to keep it that way. ‘It enables us to retain that family feel, where everyone knows everyone else, and at the same time offers more scope in encouraging our pupils to reach their very best personal potential.’ Each child has a pastoral tutor and the boarding is supervised by John and Sarah Warlow, with their two young children Sam and Jess, and labrador, Murphy.

The school is a co-educational boarding and day school housed in a Victorian manor set in 25 acres of beautiful gardens, woods and fields on the Somerset/Dorset border. There is an extensive extra curricular programme during the week with exciting weekend activities for pupils too. Music, Drama and Art form a major part of the curriculum, and over 80% of children learn musical instruments. Every term there is a drama production. Sport is played every day. In Year 7 the children have the opportunity to spend a week in France and in Year 8 enjoy a week in Cornwall after their Common Entrance exams.

The school has excellent results and 100% pass rate at Common Entrance with a number of children gaining scholarships to public schools every year.
