About

Welcome to Hatherop Castle School, a day and boarding school where children from 2 to 13 years old can enjoy the Adventure of Childhood. The glorious Cotswold setting, the outstanding education, and the broad and inspiring opportunities enjoyed by Hatherop Castle pupils, create a learning adventure all children can enjoy.

Our academic results, which ensure all pupils gain their first choice of Senior School, tell their own story. But this is just one outcome of an education at Hatherop Castle, and it is the rest of the experience that makes us stand out from the crowd. Pupils throughout the school display consistently excellent attitudes towards school, achievement and learning.

Our aspiration is that each child will have his or her own unique adventure within the castle and grounds.

It is a magical place in which to spend a childhood, and here our children are challenged and supported to explore the world and their surroundings, try new things, take risks, grow in ability and confidence and fulfil their potential, whether that be in the classroom, on the sports fields or in art, music and drama.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
