Welcome to Fonthill Lodge

   Preparatory and Nursery School

At Fonthill Lodge School we offer a stimulating, successful, broad and balanced programme which places every child at the core of what we do. Fonthill Lodge School is a place where tradition, innovation, hard work and imagination combine to provide the very best for all the children in our care. We are extremely proud of the solid foundations and traditions upon which the school has built its reputation over two hundred years whilst simultaneously embracing the most successful of modern teaching methods and resources.

We are proud of the excellent manners, consideration for others, firm and fair discipline, smart appearance and the caring and secure atmosphere so fundamental to what we do and achieve. These values are supported by a well established pastoral system and a well organised and systematic educational infrastructure in which our children are challenged and supported, and in which their needs are central to our planning. In addition we have a wonderful school campus and grounds in which the children can enjoy the great outdoors, participate in a wide variety of games and sporting activities and let their imagination and creativity flourish.

We cherish too the excellent relationships we have built up with our parents, our ‘Old Fonthillians’, the wider community and the numerous productive partnerships we enjoy including our ‘Eco School’ status and our ‘International School’ award. Similarly, we are proud of our relationships with all our neighbouring senior schools, both independent and state, that we send our children to; over the years we have established an excellent record of successful placements to schools of pupils' first choice.

At Fonthill Lodge we have created the balance between all those aspects of education that are critical to producing the children of today and the citizens of tomorrow. I extend a warm and sincere invitation to you to visit our ‘Fonthill Family’, we would all be delighted to meet you and proud to show you our school.
