Windlesham House School

Word From The Head

Ben Evans

We are proud of our rich heritage and tradition (as the oldest prep school in the country) whilst embracing innovation and change to ensure that we are preparing our pupils to be successful, high achieving and accomplished young people.

Our magnificent country setting within the South Downs national park and state of the art facilities enable us to provide an exciting and innovative curriculum in a safe, nurturing and inspiring environment. The opportunities are varied and inclusive allowing children to be involved, to follow their interests, take risks and build lifelong passions. Our community is built on the values of respect, creativity and courage with all children feeling secure, happy and able to flourish.

Academic rigour and challenge are important; we want all pupils to achieve their potential within a supportive environment where learning is creative, engaging and accessible. Our unique ACE Habits for Learning – Active learner, Critical thinker and Explorer are embedded in all aspects of teaching and learning allowing children to develop essential skills and become independent learners.

One thing I always notice about the school is the tangible sense of excitement, purpose and energy everywhere I go. All academic subjects, creative arts, sports and co-curricular are taught in well-equipped specialist areas by teachers with passion for their subjects as well as love for their topics. Children are inspired and motivated every day within a caring community. It is a joy to hear children excitedly talking to their parents about what they are learning, how their match went or what they did at breaktime.

Whilst our website will give you a good idea of everything Windlesham House has to offer, there can be no substitute for a personal visit and I look forward to welcoming you to the school very soon.
