Word From The Head

Head Photo

From Kerry Wise, Head of School


Welcome to the Old Vicarage School, an “OUTSTANDING/EXCELLENT” independent Nursery, Pre-Prep and Preparatory school for girls and boys aged 3 to 13 years.

Established in 1933 the school was acquired by the Adshead family in September 2007 and has grown from strength to strength under their stewardship. In February 2015 the Independent School’s Inspectorate found OVS “EXCELLENT” in every category. Please click on our report button to read the report in full.

This site is designed to give an insight into the wonderful education on offer at the Old Vicarage School. As you glance at the different aspects of this site, I hope you will see what we can offer your child – an education tailored to their individual needs in a warm, family and nurturing environment.

We want our children to develop a life-long love of learning, to be happy, confident and ‘glass half full’ in character. We achieve this through love, care and the personal attention we offer them in our family run school.

Open Days, Visits & Events

Arrange Visit

06-10-2023 - Open Morning

These are opportunities to see the school in action on a normal school day. There will be an opportunity to meet the Head and other teaching staff, discuss the school with some of our Governors, who are mainly current or past parents, as well as meet some current parents. You will also have an individual tour of the school and our pre-school Little Vic with one of our Year 6 pupils who are perhaps our best ambassadors.
