Horris Hill is a successful co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 2-13, set in the beautiful Berkshire countryside. The school prides itself on helping its pupils balance the demands of formal education with both creative play and organised sports and activities. Dedicated staff nurture an enduring love of learning and curiosity of spirit that will equip pupils with the skills and confidence for whatever challenges they may face in life. Horris Hill enjoys close relationships with several of the country’s top public schools, and ensures every pupil makes the most of the opportunities available to them so that they can be excited and prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.

Horris Hill is part of Forfar Education, a specialist school investment and advisory business, which partners with and manages schools across the world; supporting them to become outstanding centres of excellence where pupils learn and grow. Forfar Education is committed to working in close partnership with school leadership for the benefit of all pupils, celebrating each school’s identity and strengths.

Our core aim is to maintain Horris Hill as a small, selective, academically rigorous family school coupled with an holistic learning environment. We will continue to prepare children for the next stage in their education and to deliver children into the most academically ambitious schools in the world. Horris Hill’s unrivalled culture, which creates a truly rounded education will remain, and the fundamentals of good British values and manners will be reinforced.

Horris Hill is entering an exciting time of expansion and growth. In September 2022 our beautiful all year-year round Nursery was opened and we opened our doors to girls into the lower school. In September 2023, we will see our first cohort of girls in the upper school, as well as opening a girls boarding house.

Our staffing team are critical to the school’s continued success and you will be joining some excellent recent appointments. We welcomed our new Headmaster, Mr Rob Stewart to the school in September 2022. He has an outstanding track record including being a past Eton Housemaster before his first headship of a leading Prep School.
