The School

Ashfold is an established co-educational Preparatory School for around 280 children aged 3 - 13+ set in a beautiful Jacobean mansion with its own thirty acre estate in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside just twenty minutes from Oxford, Thame and Aylesbury.

Ashfold aims to give every child the firmest possible grounding in the core academic subjects, within a small caring family community where children both know each other and all of the staff. We were thrilled to have been rated ‘excellent’ by the ISI in so many areas of our provision in our last inspection.
