There are many parents, across all Woodard Schools, who are making a commitment to private education for the first time.

The popularity of independent education is growing nationally as parents realise that a good education is an investment for their child’s future.

With small classes, experienced teachers and a wealth of facilities, children can flourish in such an environment. As well as academic excellence the schools invest in sport, drama and music providing not just an ‘all round’ education but an opportunity to excel.

The schools provide unrivalled opportunities – from Abbots Bromley’s ballet academy, Lancing College’s farm to Ellemere’s own golf course.

Pupils leave independent education with important life skills, confidence and an awareness of others that only comes from a close, supportive school community.
