Friends' School is a small, family-orientated school with a very strong sense of community. We provide education for children from three to eighteen years, and are co-educational throughout with an even balance of boys and girls. The boarders play an important part of the school community, and we have a lively extracurricular and weekend programme in which all children may take part.

High standards of teaching will help your child to reach his or her full potential, but we set out to provide a much broader foundation for the future. We believe in the importance of social skills, service to others and self confidence without conceit. Your child will have opportunities in a wide range of cultural, creative and physical activities within a community which values and respects individuals, celebrates achievement and broadens perspective. True to our Quaker heritage, we seek 'that of God' in everyone.

My vision is of a school that is not divided by design or culture; a school with high academic standards and expert support for those that need it; firm but fair discipline; breadth of opportunity and happy children who feel secure and cherished. Friends' School has a great past and an even greater future - I sincerely hope that your child will be part of it.
