Hazlegrove is an example of prep school boarding at its best and the thriving community of around 100 boarders is testament to the success of this part of the School.

Every child is unique, the breadth and depth of the learning experience at Hazlegrove ensures that all pupils have the opportunity to discover their strengths and interests. The children are grounded in their approach to the world, inclusive in the warmth that they show to others and happy in the knowledge that they are growing up in an environment which supports a broad range of interests.

When a pupil moves on from the school, as a Hazlegrovian in the 21st century, they are a child that is empathetic, kind and connected to the world; one who is independent but knows that developing relationships and a sense of duty to the community are integral to a successful life.
