Information about the school

We have a very special school here with a unique offering: the ‘best of both worlds’, the ‘ideal mix’, and the ‘place I always dreamt of finding’ are the comments we often hear from parents or visitors. With co-educational learning from 2 - 7 years, Somerhill then offers single-sex classroom lessons until children leave us for senior schools, allowing uninhibited learning and bespoke strategies for the older girls and boys with all the benefits of a co-educational setting.

Our philosophy for the children at Somerhill is straightforward: happy children want to learn. Children are happy if they can play, participate widely and start to master skills of whatever kind, and our stunning setting and outstanding facilities offer endless opportunities for children to find something that makes them smile.

We believe this website offers you the perfect glimpse into our school life. However, to fully appreciate the extraordinary education that we offer and see our vision of confident, curious and resilient children realised, we warmly invite you to visit us at Somerhill.

You will see that this really is some school, an exceptional learning environment where we grow amazing people!
