Barfield School Barfield is a co–educational Preparatory School for children aged 2 to 11 in Farnham, Surrey. We aim to give our children a complete educational experience, with outstanding academic teaching in an excellent pastoral setting, and to prepare them fully for the senior school of their choice. Our central belief is that our children should be happy and positively challenged in what they do. Children can join Barfield Nursery in the academic year they reach their third birthday. They thrive in this happy, stimulating atmosphere, engaging in play-based learning. All year groups make full use of the extensive 12acre grounds/facilities for swimming, Forest Schools and Barfield’s very own outdoor adventure company 3Peaks. www.barfieldpst.org

Belmont School At Belmont School, we believe that the happiness and wellbeing of every pupil is of paramount importance and lies at the heart of a successful education as encapsulated in our strapline, `Achievement through Happiness’. Nestled in the Surrey Hills, our day and weekly boarding school educates children from 3 – 16 years. Pupils have 65 acres of wooded parkland to explore for activities such as Forest School, cross-country and mountain biking. Our aim is for each pupil to leave as a well-rounded individual and so the academic curriculum is enriched by sport, performing arts, visual arts and other cultural and creative opportunities. www.belmont-school.org

Box Hill School Located in the beautiful Surrey Hills, Box Hill School is a co-educational day and boarding school catering for pupils aged 11-18. Our focus is on achieving the best academic outcome for each student. Our ethos of holistic education develops life-long skills which we see in our students as they develop into confident, resilient and well-rounded young men and women. We follow the national curriculum in the lower and middle schools and offer a diverse range of GCSEs and (I)GCSEs. In the Sixth Form we run two academic programmes; the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and A Levels. www.boxhillschool.com
