Parents like
- A strong contender for families who like the classic country-prep feel but want real destination choice at 13.
- Its size and atmosphere seem likely to make children feel known while still aiming high on next-school outcomes.
- The argument that stand-alone preps preserve flexibility will resonate with some parents more than others.
Admissions
Perrott Hill is a co-educational day and boarding prep school with entry across the early years and prep stages rather than only at one formal checkpoint. Admissions materials emphasise visits, personal fit and the benefits of a stand-alone prep model where the end point is choosing the right senior school rather than simply moving up automatically.
Scholarships
Perrott Hill offers scholarships in academia, sport, music, drama, art and all-round ability, together with means-tested bursary support. The school is clear that scholarships do not automatically bring large fee remissions, with financial help assessed separately where families need it.
Bursaries
Perrott Hill School does not clearly publish bursary details. Families interested in fee support should ask the school directly whether any means-tested bursary, hardship help or discretionary remission is available.
- The school does not publish entry-point-specific bursary information, so families should ask whether support differs between prep, senior and sixth-form entry.
- No public award range, remission percentage or fund size is published.
- Families should contact admissions or the finance team directly to ask what fee assistance is available, whether it is means-tested and whether support is reviewed annually.
Inspection snapshot
Perrott Hill's current inspection page includes an October 2025 progress-monitoring inspection stating that the school met all the relevant standards considered. The school couples that regulatory reassurance with a long-standing message around high academic and pastoral standards in a family-scale environment.
Assessment approach
Perrott Hill presents prep education as a full journey towards a carefully chosen senior school. Children are prepared for Common Entrance and for senior-school scholarship routes, with published materials stressing both strong academic foundations and the independence that comes from not being tied to a single 3 to 18 destination.
