VISIT NURSERY

For ages 0-4

Set in our very own wild woods, Pelican Nursery provides a safe and stimulating environment for your child to begin exploring their world.

Equally, they’ll love adventures outside, discovering the delights of messy play, and journeying through their imaginations.

And our trained nursery staff will love seeing them grow and develop each day.

VISIT PREP SCHOOL

For ages 4-13

Beautiful open space and wild woodland are in abundance here on our wonderful site – there really is a serious amount of it!

Set in a stunning location in the foothills of the Quantocks, surrounded by glorious countryside, our pupils enjoy the (appropriately supervised!) freedom to roam around this lush rural landscape.

That’s why we make outdoor education a key priority for pupils’ development through their time at Prep, starting with the fantastic Forest School provision in Pre-Prep.
