Danes Hill is widely recognised as one of the leading co-educational day preparatory schools in the country. Situated in the village of Oxshott, Surrey, Danes Hill provides boys and girls aged 3 to 13 with an unusually broad and balanced curriculum in 55 acres of landscaped grounds. Pupils are encouraged to realise their fullest possible academic potential, and each year a large number of scholarship and exhibition awards are achieved at a wide range of day and boarding Senior Schools. Danes Hill children are characteristically self-confident and outgoing and, in addition to the emphasis on academic work, they have plenty of opportunity to develop sporting, musical, dramatic and other non-academic interests.
