Horris Hill School is nestled in 85 acres of beautiful countryside on the Berkshire/Hampshire border just one hour from London. We feed into the top senior schools including Eton, Harrow, Winchester and Radley.
Horris Hill has been the setting for excellence in boys' prep school education for over 125 years. This unbroken tradition has built not only a tremendous reputation for the school, but also a powerful ethos and an unrivalled body of expertise that allows the school to have the high expectations for each boy met in a supportive and collaborative way.
We believe that the period from 7 - 13 years of age are the most critical in any boy's life. These are the years where the foundations of the men they can become are laid. It is at this stage that the ideals, beliefs and values are developed which inform the character of the adult.
At such a crucial stage in their cultural development, we believe that an all-boys' school provides the optimal setting where boys will exercise their intellectual inquisitiveness, free to explore all avenues, building self-confidence and awareness in a safe and encouraging environment.
We believe that academic success, and the staff-pupil relationships that underlie it, are most effectively created in a boarding environment, where pupils take an unusual level of responsibility for themselves, and staff have a wider web of care in which to teach.
