About

About Danes Hill Danes Hill School in Surrey is widely recognised as one of the leading co-educational day preparatory schools in the country. Situated in 55 acres of landscaped ground in the village of Oxshott, Danes Hill provides children aged 2 to 13 with an exciting and dynamic curriculum.

In recent years, Danes Hill has become one of the last remaining 13+ co-educational Nursery, Pre-prep and Prep School in Surrey. This unique educational environment gives the children a chance to develop academically and socially before embarking on their Senior School journey.

The school encourages pupils to become confident, articulate individuals by providing them with values, skills and a desire for learning ready to take on the challenges of the next stage of their education and life beyond.

The school aims to provide a broad-based education, with sufficient support and resources available for those at both the stronger and weaker ends of the spectrum to achieve their full potential. Danes Hill children are also encouraged to take every opportunity to develop sporting, musical, dramatic and other non-academic talents and interests.
