Town and Country Prep Schools Guide

From bucolic country preps to schools on the edge of buzzy market towns or slap bang in the centre of a city, there are a myriad of prep school options up and down the UK and within a daily minibus-ride of the Big Smoke. Use our search filters, watch our videos and read our reviews to find the perfect town or country prep school for your child. 

Where to begin?

Whether you are moving away from the capital, looking for a school pencil-flinging distance from a commuter city or seeking delicious isolation for your child in their all-important prep school years, our Town & Country Prep Schools Guide is here to help you on your school search. We’ve brought together some of our favourite prep schools up and down the country – and if you want to know more about a school, we have all the answers.

The best way to get under the skin of a prep school is by visiting in-person. Here, we bring you the lowdown on everything you need to know about school open days and how to make open days really count. Once you have your diary at the ready, check out our ultimate guide to school open-days all over the UK.
