Why Skippers?

Skippers Hill is a non-selective co-educational independent preparatory school for pupils aged two to thirteen, set in 22 acres of beautiful Wealden countryside in the village of Five Ashes, Mayfield in Sussex.

We are proud of our academic results, with children consistently performing above national and local averages at every stage of their education. For a non-selective school, we have an excellent reputation for gaining significant numbers of scholarships for entry to top senior schools at 13+ across a range of disciplines. The school has strong, long-standing relationships with the senior schools in the area and Skippers children are highly sought-after for their sound academic grounding, strong sense of community spirit and overall zest for life.

Professional development is a key aspect of fulfilment at work that we at Skippers take very seriously – everyone has access to qualifications and professional development to support their career. In addition to these opportunities Skippers is part of a wider group of schools through Bellevue Education, a world-class group of 21 schools providing the highest possible education to children and students aged from 1-19 years. Throughout the academic year there are focused CPD sessions available as well as possibilities of visiting and sharing best practice with other schools.
