About

Welcome to Orwell Park where there has always been the belief that protecting the magic of our childhood should be at the very core of the ambition. Orwell offers pupils a stunning 110-acre site in which they learn, laugh, explore, make mistakes and grow.

Magnificent grounds, buildings and facilities are of immense value, but we are most proud to be able to have such a talented and dedicated team of staff who inspire, spark joy and always put the best interest of each child first: this is where the Orwell magic is truly brought to life.

Orwell's size allows each child to be known as an individual; small class sizes and a superb boarding provision ensure that the school community has a truly 'home from home' feel. Underpinning all this is first class teaching and the academic ambition for every pupil to thrive.

As a school, we are genuinely proud of the fact that leavers move on to leading senior schools across the country, with an impressive average of around 25 each year earning scholarships and exhibitions.

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