Based in the idyllic village of Woodhall Spa, we are a leading independent Nursery, day and boarding Preparatory School for boys and girls aged 2-13. Set in our own beautiful grounds, we have exceptional facilities. Our swimming pool has recently undergone major refurbishment to benefit not only our own students but also local schools and swim clubs in the area. Here at St Hugh’s, all of our pupils benefit from weekly swimming lessons and our provision sees a clear progressive pathway from our youngest Nursery children aged just two to our eldest pupils in Year 8. This year our School Swim Squad competed at national level, travelling to London to swim in the Olympic pool where they came away with bronze medals. The enviable learning environment at St Hugh’s provides a space where classrooms and playing fields provide equal opportunities for all – be it in a lesson, a match, a concert or a play, there are opportunities for children to develop, encouraged by caring professionals who are proud to be part of the school and who love what they do. In our last ISI inspection we achieved ‘excellent’ in all areas and our Nursery was deemed ‘outstanding’. While in the Independent Schools Awards 2022, we were proud to be shortlisted for Small Independent School of the Year and Independent School of the Year for Student Wellbeing. Most recently we were a finalist in the Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards. n Come and see the opportunities on offer.

Oakham School
Year 6 is a ‘Hidden Gem’ at Oakham School...
Oakham School is known for its academic excellence and outstanding pastoral care, Oakham School is an outstanding co-educational day and boarding school for 10 to 18 year olds located in the heart of Rutland’s historic county town. Within the 70-acre campus and outstanding facilities is the ‘hidden gem’ of the Lower School, offering a first-class education to the youngest pupils at the School. Children can join Oakham from Year 6 (aged 10), giving them an early introduction to the vast range of opportunities available. Lower 1 (Year 6) pupils at Oakham School follow a timetable that is grounded in primary teaching with a primary specialist class teacher and a classroom base where they’re taught their lessons. They also benefit from being taught by subject specialists for French, Science, the Creative and Performing Arts subjects, and Physical Education (PE), as well as taking part in several exciting trips and activities. A former Lower 1 parent said: “All three of my children joined Oakham in Lower 1 and it really helped to ease them into the rhythm of School life. They loved starting at ‘big school’ a year early and enjoyed all the social and academic advantages, whilst benefitting hugely from being taught in small classes in their own classroom.”
Joining Lower 1 means that pupils can immediately benefit from the broad Oakham curriculum that swiftly embeds them into the rounded experience of life at Oakham School.
