A magical place to grow

Exceptional facilities

Inspirational teaching

An incredible learning experience

Welcome from the Headmaster

A very warm welcome to Orwell Park.

We passionately believe in protecting the magic of childhood and are blessed to be able to offer our children the most stunning 110-acre site in which they can learn, laugh, explore, make mistakes and grow. Magnificent grounds, buildings and facilities are of great value, but we are more proud to be able to boast a talented and dedicated team of staff, who succeed in sparking joy, inspiration and aspiration – this is where the magic is truly brought to life.

‘‘A place where girls and boys can quietly build their characters and their confidence before setting off, best foot forward, to the most prestigious senior schools in the land’’
