Hazlegrove Prep School

At Hazlegrove, we delight in children being children and encourage individuality alongside traditional qualities such as compassion and kindness. Set within 200 acres of parkland in Somerset with outstanding facilities, we welcome boarders from the age of 7 to 13. Our boarders are the heartbeat of the school. It’s of paramount importance to us that your children feel safe and happy, and our thriving community of full-time boarders is testament to our success.

It’s not an easy decision to make, but with many of our boarder families choosing Hazlegrove on the strength of personal recommendations from past and current pupils, we know we offer an very positive boarding experience both for boarders and their parents. It’s a wonderful opportunity for your child to reach their potential, grow in confidence and make friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

Pastoral care is key to the strength and overall success of the boarding at Hazlegrove; it is at the heart of everything that we do. Communication is key and our “family-feel” encourages dialogue between all the adults involved with the care of the children. We like parents to feel that they are a part of the boarding journey and that we work together to enrich the lives of the children in our care. The curriculum at Hazlegrove prepares children for the next phases of their lives and to be able to thrive in their personal and professional lives, understanding their responsibilities in making the world a better place.

Children move with their cohort onto a range of senior schools, one of which is King’s School Bruton, part of the same Foundation as Hazlegrove and to which between 30-50% of Year 8 children join.
