About the School

Friends’ School is a co-educational day school for chil­dren from Nurs­ery to the Sixth Form with board­ing from age 11. The Senior School takes chil­dren from age 11 into Year 7. They follow a broad and balanced curriculum to GCSE in Year 11 and then may progress into the Sixth Form for AS and A level courses.

Students enjoy work­ing in a fabulous Victorian build­ing, built as a school in 1879 in a leafy green campus with access to more modern classrooms, science labor­at­or­ies and other special­ist facil­it­ies and spacious play­ing fields.

We are a lively and caring community with one simple aim: to real­ise the poten­tial and talent of all pupils within a friendly but chal­len­ging envir­on­ment. High stand­ards of teach­ing and academic attain­ment are obvi­ously hugely import­ant to us, but we make sure they are enriched by a broader frame­work of personal development
