Rydes Hill to become fully co-educational

Following the recent announcement of the merger between Rydes Hill and Tormead, we are pleased to announce that Rydes Hill Prep School will become fully co-educational in Year 3 from September 2027, followed by Year 4 in September 2028.  

This move is part of a phased plan to make Rydes Hill Prep School fully co-educational by September 2030, joining Rydes Hill Pre-Prep and Nursery School, both of which are co-educational.  

Rydes Hill will continue to have its own distinctive and unique style, offering the children in its care an exciting education and outstanding pastoral care, whilst having the added strength and benefits of being part of a wider school family. 

Shuttle buses will operate between the Tormead and Rydes Hill sites, allowing parents the flexibility of a single drop-off and pick-up point for the whole family from Nursery through to Sixth Form. 

“Tormead has long enjoyed a reputation for providing an excellent education and exceptional pastoral care for girls and we are excited to be able to offer the same outstanding education at our Rydes Hill campus to families that are looking for co-educational preparatory schooling in the Guildford and wider Surrey area,” said David Boyd, Head of Tormead School. 

If you would like to know more about the co-educational provision we will be offering at Rydes Hill for girls and boys from age 2 upwards, including 2nd sibling fee discounts for boys at Rydes Hill for Tormead families, then please do reach out to our Head of Admissions, Mrs Jo Drury on 01483 796 040 or admissions@tormeadschool.org.uk
