The teachers go out of their way to find the particular talents of each child.

Among the best in the UK providing benchmarks of excellence.

I went to what many people consider to be the best prep school in England, Ludgrove in Wokingham. I chose St.Johns's for my children because it had everything I had so enjoyed myself as a child. Buildings, grounds, position, ethos and above all, a caring happy atmosphere where children wanted to shine.

...the feeling you get as you walk through the door is unbelievable. It's just a caring, family environment.

If you don't like your job you can change it. When it comes to education you only get one chance. That's why we chose St.John's for our children.

…all children at some point find teenage years difficult. By staying on until 13 each child is given the chance to learn about themselves. It helps them establish who they are, without the pressures from older children and the extra peer pressure from new friends. It enables them to become stronger people in their own right.
Comment from a former pupil, who stayed till the age of 13
Overall, I love being a boarder because it is much more exciting than going Home every day, with my parents doing everything for me. I have become very independent, learning to think for myself. As I live overseas, I am very good at travelling to different countries with my sister and not getting scared. I would recommend boarding school to everyone because it is the best choice I've made.
