Yarrells Preparatory School is an independent 'country' school for boys and girls between 2 and 13, in the suburban village of Upton, near the breathtaking scenery of Poole harbour on the historic Dorset coastline.

Berkhampstead School was founded over 60 years ago. Today, it is a busy Independent Co-educational Day School for children aged 3 to 11.
The school is situated at the end of a long tree-lined avenue in a pleasant part of Cheltenham. It has three distinct, but closely integrated Departments:-

Early Years - incorporating the Nursery, which is located in its own, purpose built, accommodation; where our youngest children learn through playing and through the professional guidance of the team of Nursery Assistants and Teachers who look after them - and the Reception classes, again in new built-for-purpose premises, with their own highly qualified and very friendly staff.

The Key Stage One Department, located in the main building. The children are taught by their form teachers and, as in Early Years, this is supplemented by specialist teaching of French, Music and P.E

The Preparatory Department, in a large Victorian building, with its own facilities and teachers. This department has recently been extended

Bredon is a fairly small, independent, day and boarding school welcoming boys and girls of all abilities aged from 7 to 18. The school campus is based around the picturesque Pull Court mansion, which is set in 84 acres of landscaped grounds a few miles from the Gloucestershire market town of Tewkesbury.

At Bredon, we firmly believe that in education the journey is as important as the destination. We are very proud of our reputation for genuinely treating all children as individuals, providing them with a tailor-made itinerary for their journey rather than just sending them on a package tour!
