Welcome to Windlesham House
Every child deserves to be noticed
At Windlesham House, we believe nurturing potential starts with simply noticing it. That’s why every child is genuinely known, encouraged to be curious and given the confidence to become the very best version of themselves.
A breath of fresh air
Our bespoke admissions process focuses on the needs of each child and their family. As a ‘gently selective’ school, Windlesham House’s excellent record continues to prepare children for outstanding day and boarding senior schools.
Living at Windlesham House
We understand there’s no place like home but we are proud to offer a nurturing environment where children are happy, well cared for and truly flourish while living, learning and playing at Windlesham House.
Why families choose Windlesham
Children are genuinely known
Because every child deserves to feel seen, understood and encouraged to become the very best version of themselves.
Exceptional opportunities every day
From sport and performing arts to outdoor learning and over 150 co-curricular activities, children are encouraged to discover new passions and hidden talents.
Outstanding pastoral care
A warm, supportive environment where happiness, wellbeing and confidence are at the heart of every school day.
A childhood to remember
Set within 70 acres of beautiful Sussex countryside, children have the freedom to explore, play and grow.
Preparing for life beyond Windlesham
Academic excellence, character, curiosity and confidence combine to ensure every child is ready for the next stage of their journey.
Where every child discovers a love of sport
At Windlesham House, our view is that sports are all about games – and games should be fun! Our approach is that if a child works their socks off but the outcome is not quite what they had hoped for, we look at the value in the process rather than focusing on the target that was not reached.

To round off our Down the Rabbit Hole topic, Year 2 hosted their very own Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and they were in charge of it all! From designing the bunting and choosing the music to creating games, writing jokes, riddles and fun facts for parents, every detail was their idea. Throw in bubbles, hoopla, a photo booth, Guess the Baby and even a face painter, it made for an afternoon full of laughter, smiles and wonderfully mad memories. The perfect send-off before our amazing Year 2 children disappear down one final rabbit hole and begin their next adventure in Year 3!
