About

Cottesmore is an award-winning academic boarding prep school for children age 4-13 in West Sussex, less than an hour from London.

Cottesmore excels at ‘modern’ boarding. Its huge range of sports, hobbies and activities supplement a diverse academic curriculum. The drama, music and arts programmes are equally purposeful and vibrant. Since 1894, Cottesmore has been providing excellent preparation for senior boarding schools who share Cottesmore’s belief in nurturing a rounded, dynamic individual.

‘Everyone has a talent’ is Cottesmore’s unofficial motto. The school will find and nurture every child’s talent, and help the individual grow strong in the light of his or her own success and to have faith in their own ability in a caring, confidence-inspiring environment. Cottesmore has won ‘Prep School of the Year’ by Tatler Schools Awards and was also named the Times Educational Supplement ‘Boarding School of the Year’.
