Danes Hill School is widely recognised as one of the leading co-educational day preparatory schools in the country. Situated in 55 acres of landscaped ground in the village of Oxshott, Surrey, Danes Hill provides children aged 3 to 13 with a dynamic and exciting education.
At Danes Hill School we pride ourselves in being a non-selective school and our admissions process is designed to identify children who are able to benefit from our balanced and well-rounded education. An offer of a place will be made if we feel Danes Hill is the right school for your child.
The first three years of school – Nursery and Reception – are together called the Early Years. The Danes Hill Pre-Prep school aims to help all children to take their first learning steps in comfort, safety and confidence.
The Prep School is divided into the Junior School (Years 2 to 5), and Upper School (Years 6 to 8), each with its own Head, its own assemblies and traditions, and very much its own ethos. Children are encouraged to feel allegiance to their own particular section of the school, and this sectional subdivision ensures that the school never feels overwhelmingly big.
A child’s school days should be filled with excitement and wonder, creating memories that they will treasure for years to come. Danes Hill School is the perfect platform for children to discover their passions, make lifelong friendships and believe in themselves.
You’ll find all of our latest news here from school trips to charity work.

Today our music department warmly welcomed the enthusiastic Year 2 pupils for an immersive and exhilarating String Quartet Workshop. Our talented String Quartet treated the Year 2 pupils to a captivating performance, leaving them spellbound and inspired.
Following the performance, our ...passionate musicians invited the Year 2 pupils to explore the world of strings firsthand. Guided by our skilled peripatetic teachers and senior pupils, the children eagerly embraced the opportunity to experience the magic of each instrument, their faces lighting up with joy and excitement as they plucked, bowed, and strummed their way through melodies.
