Windlesham House School

An independent boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 4 to 13, in the Sussex Downs National Park

Visiting Windlesham

Windlesham House School is one of the country’s leading independent prep schools, set in a beautiful 65 acre country estate on the South Downs.

The oldest prep school in the country (est. 1837), Windlesham House has always led the way in embracing the new.

We were also the first prep school to go co-educational, in 1967, and our long-held policy of no school uniform helps children feel relaxed in their home away from home.

To arrange a tour with our Headmaster, Ben Evans, please call admissions, on: +44 (0)1903 874701 or email us.

Looking back on your childhood, what memories stand out to you? Hopefully days of exploring nature, playing with friends and learning new skills…

Our beautiful 65 acres of grass and woodland, nestled in the foothills of the South Downs allows children to be children, giving space to learn, discover and play.

There’s also plenty of wildlife to spot – including a family of deer, badgers, pheasants and plenty of birds. With over 1000 trees to climb, there’s plenty of scope for a treehouse or den to house adventure seekers.
