Hereford Cathedral Junior School, lies at the centre of the Cathedr

Welcome to Hereford Cathedral School, the leading Independent School in the Marches, and Herefordshire's only 3-18 Coeducational Day School.

Hereford Cathedral School's greatest strength lies in its friendly, family, coeducational ethos, encouraged by excellent staff-pupil relations and a highly supportive parent body. It is this ethos, widely recognised as a special characteristic of Hereford Cathedral School, that enables pupils to excel both in, and out of, the classroom.

As the only school in Herefordshire to be a member of The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference HMC, Hereford Cathedral School is recognised to be one of the 250 leading independent schools in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

We offer an education that enables children to experience childhood fully while enabling them to become responsible, free individuals who can think clearly and considerately, observe perceptively and act constructively for the good of the world.

With a small cohort, Lucton School has again this year, shown an improvement in the A2 results, with Year 13 students achieving 100% passes, with 60% A/B results and 80% A/C results.
Headmistress, Mrs Gill Thorne, is delighted with the progress of the Sixth Form. “The AS results from our much larger lower sixth also show great promise."

St Richard's is a Catholic boarding and day school, including a pre-preparatory section, for about 140 boys and girls set in 35 acres of Herefordshire countryside. Non-Catholic children are welcomed and readily absorbed into the society of St Richard's, adding greatly to the spiritual life of the school which combines a comfortable, busy but homely atmosphere with academic and devoted individual care.

The traditional character of St. Richard's, based on the concept of an extended family, is maintained by the headmaster who takes personal care of the pastoral welfare of each child. The staffing policy ensures a blend of experience and continuity. Many of the staff live alongside the children in the spacious confines of Bredenbury Court.

For over half a century Bedstone College has prepared young people to enter the outside world with well-developed personal skills, self-confidence and the finest academic qualifications within their scope. Bedstone was one of the first independent schools to become fully co-educational and the warm family atmosphere that successful co-education creates within a smaller school is immediately obvious to any visitor.

Bedstone is consistently one of the top Independent Schools in the county in the GCSE and A level league tables.

Set in the beautiful uplands of South Shropshire, bordering Herefordshire and Powys, the college is far from the distracting influences of urban life and yet it is within easy reach of all major cities and airports.

Castle House is an independent day school of about 100 children, boys and girls aged 2-11. It is Accredited by ISC (Independent Schools Council) and a member of ISA (Independent Schools Association).
Classes are kept small – a maximum of 20 children, but many are smaller. There is one class in each year group, from Reception to Year 6. In addition, CHerubS Nursery caters for 2, 3 and 4 year old pre-school children.

Concord College is a highly academic international college. We welcome students from all over the world into our vibrant and varied community. Girls and boys between the ages of 13 and 19 enjoy fabulous facilities on our safe 50 acre campus set in the heart of the English countryside.

We expect our students to achieve the highest standards and to gain entry to top universities in the UK. Students work very hard, guided by their expert teachers to ensure that they achieve the highest grades of which they are capable.

Founded in 1884, Ellesmere College is a 7 to 18 coeducational school based in rural North Shropshire.

Success at Ellesmere is founded upon high quality classroom education coupled with a strong commitment to extra-curricular activities, be they artistic, sporting or outdoor pursuits.

Ellesmere College is a school that values individuals. Ellesmere's aspirations for pupils have always been higher than simply passing examinations: however vital examination success is, it is not enough on its own to prepare young people to be successful adults.
