Our Prep School
Our Prep school education is more than just preparing your child for their time at senior school. It is a time for challenge, excitement and fun. It is a period of discovery, where your child will determine who they want to be while they are cared for in a safe and secure environment. We are an independent co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 8-13. We’re located in 175 acres of stunning grounds within the South Downs National Park in Liphook, and welcome families from across Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey.
Prep school is, of course, a time of assessment and exams. This cannot be avoided. However, our exceptional teachers will carefully manage this time. They will ensure your child doesn’t simply focus on this part of their educational journey. It’s important that we work together to ensure that their love of learning remains and their carefully nurtured flame is not extinguished.
The process of self-discovery that your child will go through will also lead them to important points such as senior school applications. Our highly-experienced Senior Leadership Team will guide you through this journey. A Highfield and Brookham education gifts you exceptional choice as we feed more than 30 of the top day and boarding senior schools in the country. This means we can help your child find the right school for them. We have made the progressive decision to move away from the full Common Entrance syllabus but remain with Common Entrance in the core subjects. This has allowed us to create a bespoke curriculum that focuses on the essential skills that we know senior schools and future employers are seeking in young adults. Our promise to you is that your child will leave Year 8 as an adaptable, resilient and independent young person ready for the world ahead.
An excellent and very broad educational experience, combined with first-class pastoral care, great facilities in a wonderfully inspiring location.

We were thrilled to welcome back Old Highfieldian Rebecca Lidh Faijersson this week. Visiting from Sweden with her family, Rebecca was excited to return to the school that she attended as an overseas pupil for one life-changing term in 1993. She spoke warmly of the lasting memories, friendships, and the positive impact her time here had on her life. It was truly inspiring to hear how Highfield and Brookham’s community continues to resonate with its former pupils, even decades later. #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

The Pre-Prep wellbeing garden was buzzing with life this morning! All the children’s hard work planting and caring for the garden has truly paid off, and it’s now a thriving hub of insect activity, full of colour and life. A real eco joy to see! As the children are on their school holidays, we thought they’d love to know just how much their efforts have blossomed. #OutdoorLearning #EcoJoy #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep

As our fearless Year 7 adventurers wrap up their unforgettable journey, we celebrate everything they’ve achieved. From braving new challenges and stepping outside their comfort zones, to forging friendships and spending a night alone on Survival Island — they’ve grown, thrived and risen to the occasion. They return in September not just as Year 8s — but as more confident, capable and connected young people. #AdventureComplete #SurvivalIsland #FutureYear8 #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
The show may take centre stage, but it’s the teamwork and camaraderie behind the scenes that make our productions truly special. We just love these pics of our amazing Year 8s supporting each other every step of the way in their magical production of Grease. #Grease #SchoolShow #BehindTheScenes #Year8 #Teamwork #SchoolProduction #BackstageMagic #IndependentSchool #TogetherWeGrow #TogtherWeEncourage
