Hatherop Castle School

Hatherop Castle is a highly regarded co-educational day and boarding prep school for boys and girls aged 2 to 13. Set in a stunning rural location in the heart of the Cotswolds, here children have the freedom to enjoy a happy and adventurous childhood, growing in confidence and skills, and benefiting from a full and challenging curriculum. The outstanding academic provision ensures that all children achieve entry to their first choice of a wide range of selective independent secondary schools, as well as Gloucestershire’s highly sought-after grammar schools. In March 2016, the school was found to be Excellent in all categories in its ISI inspection. Hatherop Castle joined the Wishford Schools group in February 2014. Since then, it has undergone an extensive programme of development and refurbishment, including improvements to classrooms and boarding accommodation, investment in staff and IT facilities, and the building of an impressive Performing Arts Centre.
