Our takeaway
In the midst of an energetic shift towards full coeducation, this historic Surrey boarding school feels broader, more modern and more family-friendly than it once did, while still retaining its strong sense of tradition.
"From challenge and inspiration in the classroom to a vast range of different co-curricular activities, many of which are pupil-led, there is a huge breadth of opportunity available to you here."
