Great Walstead School

Great Walstead School is a dynamic, welcoming and inclusive independent prep school for girls and boys aged 2.5 to 13 years.

Based in Lindfield, West Sussex and nestled in 265 acres of glorious countryside. With our own woodland, streams, Forest School and a Secret Garden, there's always somewhere new to explore!

This sense of childhood as an adventure is at the heart of our learning philosophy, which we call Mud π.  A wordplay on mud pies, Mud π encapsulates our belief that children often learn best outdoors. We lead by example to instil positive values – empathy, vibrancy, adventure and determination – which are integral to our school life and just as important to us as academic achievement.

We are immensely proud of our pupils’ individual academic, sporting and creative success across the board, with 100% of leavers achieving a place at their first choice senior school and over 50% achieving a scholarship.

To truly appreciate just what Great Walstead has to offer, we think you need to see it for yourself! Book a personal tour, meet the staff and children and explore the inspiring grounds and facilities.
