Cottesmore School
Horsham, West Sussex
Cottesmore is an award-winning academic country boarding prep school for girls and boys, on the border of Surrey and Sussex.
We are one of the strongest remaining boarding prep schools in the UK, due to our commitment to the family ethos and values.
Academic results at Cottesmore are stellar - a quarter of the Common Entrance taking boys went to Eton last year and the most popular girls school destination is Marlborough. There were also a record number of scholarships achieved.
Cottesmore is also very keen on sport and the creative arts. The beautiful countryside setting lends itself to an exciting outdoor programme; the paddle-boarding lake where we also fish, the golf course and countless sports pitches mean that we are able to espouse a seamlessly strategy of healthy body, healthy mind and outdoor life.
The creative arts are also an exciting part of daily life at Cottesmore.
