Cranleigh Preparatory School is a leading independent co-educational day and boarding school for children between the ages of 7 and 13 years set in the heart of the Surrey Hills. We put the experience of each individual child at the heart of everything we do.

Meet the head

Ours is a school where children are encouraged to give their best in the classrooms and explore opportunities where they can make a contribution to the wider school community. Teamwork, empathy, resilience and a sense of service are traits we aim to foster.

Good citizens,
Good leaders,

We’re a friendly bunch!

Our community of day and boarding pupils prides itself on the welcoming atmosphere and sense of belonging in school. Boys and girls learn, play and compete together in every area of school life.

Nurturing the next generation in an environment full of dedication, commitment and innovation

Of course exam results are important but we recognise that exam statistics are no measure of a child’s humanity. We want to educate the children in the broadest spectrum of skills and talents possible.
