About Gayhurst School

a broad, rounded education

Strong Foundations, Wide Horizons

Founded in 1908, Gayhurst is a long-established, forward-thinking and proudly co-educational prep school for children aged 3 to 11. Set within beautiful grounds on the edge of Gerrards Cross, surrounded by fields and woodland yet within easy reach of London, the school gives children the space and freedom to explore, create and grow.

A Gayhurst education combines academic ambition with exceptional pastoral care and a rich breadth of opportunity. Children enjoy a varied curriculum that extends far beyond the classroom, encompassing sport, music, drama, art, technology and the natural world.

Boys and girls have been learning and growing alongside one another at Gayhurst for nearly two decades. They learn to listen to different perspectives, respect one another and develop the empathy and understanding they will need in the world beyond school. For families, there is also something particularly special about brothers and sisters sharing the same school, traditions and memories.

Gayhurst pupils are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education, progressing to a wide range of senior schools, including leading independent and grammar schools. They leave with strong foundations, wide horizons and the confidence to embrace whatever comes next
