Pulborough, West Sussex RH20 4AY, UK
Our bespoke admissions process focuses on the needs of each child and their family. As a ‘gently selective’ school, Windlesham House’s excellent record continues to prepare children for outstanding day and boarding senior schools.
We are proud to be different. We have a rich and long history whilst being progressive and innovative in our culture and approach. Our girls and boys are kind and caring, full of curiosity and risk takers. They will leave the school characteristically confident, well rounded and ready to embrace the challenges ahead with positivity.
Already curious? We would love to show you our school, Windlesham House. We are looking forward to meeting you at either our open mornings or a personal tour with our Headmaster or member of our senior leadership team.
The learning support department manages mild-to-moderate learning differences (such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, speech and language needs, and processing tracking challenges) via tailored classroom differentiation, pupil tracking profiles, and 1:1 intervention.
Lightly selective. Assessment includes an informal taster day, a student interview, age-appropriate internal entry screenings from Year 1 upward (mainly for setting purposes), and a formal report/reference from the child’s current school head.
Operates a flexible rolling admissions scheme based on space availability. Main entry points are at Reception, Year 3, Year 7, and occasionally for short-term boarding immersion slots. Main open mornings are traditionally held in October, February, and May. Early inquiry is recommended to secure boarding house allocations.
Rated ‘Excellent’ in all areas by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), with specific recognition of its co-curricular and pastoral structures as standout national strengths. Famed for a historic culture that skips rigid school uniforms to maintain a relaxed, nurturing “home-from-home” atmosphere.
Leavers transition seamlessly to elite senior independent boarding schools at 13+. Graduates routinely win prestigious scholarships (Academic, Music, Art, Drama, and Sport) to destinations including Charterhouse, Eton College, Marlborough College, Canford, Wellington College, Harrow School, and Brighton College.
