Sunningdale School is a family run boys prep school of 110 pupils in Berkshire. Founded in 1874 it stands in 25 acres of mature gardens and grounds. The school is excellently situated just 45 minutes from London, 20 minutes from Heathrow and 15 minutes from the M3, M4 and M25 Motorways.
Sunningdales aim is to provide a happy and supportive environment in which boys can prosper both as individuals and as members of the school community. We also aim to prepare boys both academically and socially for life at public school. Our record at Common Entrance is outstanding and boys from Sunningdale regularly gain scholarships to top public schools.
The school has its own chapel. It also has a house in Normandy to which each boy goes for a week three times during his time at Sunningdale. At Sunningdale, we aim to provide the best boys' boarding prep school education in the country and to ignite a spark in each boy through curiosity, friendship and challenge.
It is also possible to be a day pupil at Sunningdale and get the benefits that come with a boarding school ethos.
