Reasons for choosing Bilton Grange
Why choose Bilton Grange?
· Bilton Grange is one of the foremost coeducational boarding and day preparatory schools in the country, rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in 2007, and again ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2008.
· We have a thriving Pre-Preparatory Department with dedicated, well trained staff who see to it that these most important formative years of schooling are exciting and challenging, allowing children to reach their full potential and preparing them for the next stage of their school life.
· We will prepare your child for 13+ entry into the country’s leading senior schools. In recent years pupils from Bilton Grange have gone on to many such schools, including Rugby, Eton, Oundle, Uppingham, and Wycombe Abbey. Thirty-seven scholarships have been awarded by senior schools to Bilton Grange leavers in the last three years.
· Building on the proven advantages of the traditional prep school curriculum - small class sizes, a broad range of subjects, and specialist teaching staff - learning is further enhanced by modern ICT support. ‘Powerful teaching by excellent professionals’ was how the Daily Telegraph put it.
· The school offers unrivalled facilities for your child: as well as our fully resourced classrooms, science laboratories and design workshops, Bilton Grange maintains a theatre, library, music school, sports hall, 25 metre indoor heated swimming pool, 9-hole golf course, and shooting range, as well as 160 acres of sports fields, woods and landscaped gardens, all centred on our magnificent 19th Century Pugin mansion and its adjoining chapel.
· The girls’ and boys’ boarding houses are at the heart of the school community. All children, boarding and day, benefit from attending this school, with its complete care systems and the dedicated staff it attracts. We offer full, weekly and flexible boarding, and day children are welcome to attend every meal.
· Your child will be supported through the inevitable challenges of living, learning and growing with others by adults who value the happy and secure environment of a community based on Christian principles, encouraging courtesy and personal responsibility. We therefore strive to provide an atmosphere in which your child will develop with confidence, free from fear, and safe in the knowledge that their voice will be heard.
· We are proud of our accomplishments and the manner in which we achieve them together. Bilton Grange is non-selective and yet maintains the highest standards in every arena: all with a remarkable sense of relaxed informality.
