Because you want the best for your child
Newcastle-under-Lyme School offers an excellent education for its pupils at all levels. We offer outstanding facilities, excellent teaching and a track record of county-leading results. We are recognised as one of the top independent schools in the region.
Our Little NULS Nursery provides an excellent environment for our youngest pupils to play, discover and learn, with children also benefiting from an array of facilities including an on-site Forest School.
Our Prep pupils learn to cook, play musical instruments, swim in our pool and much more. With its own computer lab, art room and library and access to Senior School pitches, cricket nets, DT labs, swimming pool, science labs, food tech kitchens, a NULS Prep School day is quite unlike any other.
In our Senior School, pupils work hard and develop as people, both in and outside the classroom. We are rated Excellent for Academic and Personal Development by the ISI - the highest rating. When moving towards Sixth Form, we shape an education to fit our pupils and encourage them to take part in sport, music, and drama as well as the wealth of other opportunities on offer.
We are proud to be launching our new £4 million sports complex, a state-of-the-art facility that will incorporate multiple courts for tennis, netball and more, significantly developing our sporting capacity to a region leading level.
We would love to meet any parents who are interested in places at our School. Register for our Autumn Open Events at nuls.org.uk/events.

Local Prep School to offer a brighter, more sustainable education for its pupils
The Prep at Denstone College are well into their facility developments known as ‘Phase II: Developing Education’. Following a most successful launch in September, they have seen numbers and interest in the Prep grow beyond all imagination.
It truly is achieving its aim of being the prep school of choice for parents in the Midlands. This work will see major building work to the second floor to deliver extra large, open-plan classrooms including a dedicated art and creative space and an innovative science and technology discovery space. This work will benefit the entire age range and the pupils will be excited to see their new lighter, brighter educational spaces.
The exciting developments have both an ecofriendly and pupil wellbeing approach at the core of why we are investing in the facility. The new facilities will create bigger spaces with more natural light available for our pupils. The inclusion of the skylights, along with sustainable materials being used, means that they will be doing more to have less impact on our planet. Inspiring our pupils with our conscious actions to have less impact on the environment around them.
The Prep at Denstone College have also listened to parent feedback and have invested in the refurbishment of one of their boarding facilities, Hartley House. This will host children from 7 to 13 years old for both boys and girls, in their own separate spaces. There will be options available for full time, weekly as well as flexible boarding choices, affording every child the opportunity to benefit from time away from home.
The Prep and Denstone College have a ‘One School’ approach, and this is a huge part of that. The boarding house helps facilitate the integration of boarding for pupils in The Prep and the First and Second Form at the College, so when a Prep pupil does take that exciting step up to ‘big school’, it won’t feel so daunting.
Denstones next open morning is on 1st October, or alternatively if you would like to have a private tour of Denstone College, please find our more at www.denstonecollege.org.
