About Wishford

Welcome to Wishford Education

Wishford Education is a group of energetic, happy and high-achieving schools, nurseries and camps across the south of England, each as individual in character as the children who live and learn in them.

No two Wishford schools are alike, ranging from rural stately homes in Gloucestershire to a Tunbridge Wells townhouse. What unites them is a shared ethos, and a determination to create the best possible learning environment, somewhere children are safe and nurtured, and where they are able to access outstanding teaching and opportunities that will broaden their horizons. Wherever our children learn, our focus is on where the real value and benefits of an independent education lie, allowing us to provide an exceptional quality of education while also delivering real value for money.

An individualised approach

Preserving the individuality of each of our schools is key to Wishford’s ethos. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Our strength lies in our breadth of experience in all aspects of the educational world, coupled with open mindedness, allowing space for new ideas and creativity. Our greatest asset is our team of outstanding staff, and we draw on the expertise of staff across the group. They help us identify what defines an outstanding education, and stop us resting on our laurels.

We challenge our thinking, in the same way that we challenge our children to reach their potential, and our staff to develop their skills. This approach makes our schools exciting places to be, and Wishford an exciting and energetic organisation in which to be involved.

Whether you are a parent considering a Wishford school for your child, a teacher exploring career opportunities, or a school looking to reach your full potential within a group of like-minded schools, we hope you find everything you need here.

From stately homes to purpose-built classrooms

Governance

Governance within the group is the responsibility of Sam Antrobus, who is Executive Chairman of each school and of the group. Sam is supported by the Wishford Education team, which includes a number of highly experienced independent school heads.

A combination of clear vision and shared expertise and experience has led to every school being rated ‘Excellent’ for Governance in each inspection since joining the group.

“The proprietor has an ambitious vision for the school’s future development and shares this with the leadership team. This has already resulted in successful changes to the school’s leadership structure, the curriculum and pastoral care arrangements, with a positive impact already evident on pupils’ achievement.”
