About

Griffin House School has grown from homely beginnings and we are now welcoming back second and third-generation students. We have a strong pastoral focus and sense of community, and these are part of the individual school experience that we provide for each child and family in our school.

For the last four years, we have featured in the top 100 prep schools in The Sunday Times Schools Guide, rated according to SATS results. This year Griffin House School was 31 st and the top school in Buckinghamshire, and with no entrance examination, this makes its academic success all the more noteworthy.

Choosing a school for your child is an important decision and we aim to make the school admissions process as straightforward and transparent as possible. As a non-selective school there is no entrance exam, but a School Report should be provided to help Griffin House School ensure that we can meet your child's needs.

The Headteacher likes to meet all prospective families to say hello and answer any questions. The history of the school dates back to 1876, when the manor house 'Lady Mede' was built by Joseph Parrott, a local Solicitor.
