History

Welcome to Lyndhurst School: Inspiring Young Minds Since 1895

Founded in 1895, Lyndhurst School is one of the few preparatory schools in the region with an unbroken history spanning over a century. Our commitment to educating the whole child lies at the heart of everything we do.

We pride ourselves on being a small, friendly school with a warm, family-oriented atmosphere. Our holistic approach to education nurtures academic excellence, personal growth, and a love of learning that stays with pupils for life.

Tailored Learning, Exceptional Outcomes
With small class sizes, our dedicated teachers get to know each pupil, tailoring the curriculum to meet individual needs while fostering collaboration and peer learning. This balance creates a dynamic, supportive, and intellectually challenging environment.

Our reputation for high academic achievement is matched by excellent examination results. Every year, our pupils secure places at leading senior schools, often earning scholarships in academics, sports, music, and art.

A Rich and Diverse Curriculum
Beyond the classroom, we offer a wealth of opportunities for pupils to develop their talents. We make full use of excellent local sporting facilities, including weekly swimming lessons and a variety of sports activities.

Modern Foreign Languages are integrated throughout the school, broadening pupils’ cultural horizons.

A Creative and Expressive Arts Culture
Music and Drama are central to our school life. With two choirs and an orchestra, we foster a love for performance and creative expression. Our pupils also achieve remarkable success in Associated Board of Music examinations.

Lyndhurst School is a place where children thrive, learn, and grow — academically, socially, and creatively. We invite you to discover the warmth and excellence that set our school apart.
