The Hawthorns School is a highly successful, forward-thinking independent preparatory school (IAPS) for boys and girls aged 2 years to 13 years. We provide a caring and challenging environment recognising the core principles of academic achievement, breadth of opportunity and pastoral care. A vibrant and highly dedicated staff nurture and draw out the strengths of each child. We have an outstanding Scholarship record complemented by children enjoying a vast array of co-curricular activities including chess, high wires, photography and a huge variety of indoor and outdoor sport.
Situated in a semi-rural location, but within striking distance of Reigate, Oxted, Caterham, Westerham and Lingfield, our 35 acre site includes the listed Pendell Court alongside fabulous purpose-built facilities for our Nursery and Pre-Prep children as well as subject specialist centres. Our Sports Centre includes an indoor 20 metre pool, full-sized sports hall and dance studio. We also boast a floodlit all-weather pitch and the woodland and lake areas enable extensive use of the grounds including conservation (e.g. hedge laying).
We live by our motto: ‘Happy Children Learn’ and everything we do at the School centres around our family ethos and special atmosphere within this thriving community.
