CHEAM School is one of the
oldest prep schools in the
country with its origins in the
seventeenth century.
The school became co-educa-
tional in 1997 and offers parents
the opportunity for education
from three to 13+ for their sons
and daughters.
Set in 100 acres of glorious coun-
tryside, it is the perfect school
for children to spend their early
school days.
The school’s aim is to develop
a caring community where
everyone feels respected, valued
and motivated to thrive; so that
the children leave Cheam confi-
dent and responsible.
Classes are small, maximum18,
and pupils are prepared for the
major senior independent
schools.
The classrooms are light and
bright with interactive white
boards throughout and excellent
facilities for design and technol-
ogy, art, IT, science, sport and
a strong music and drama
department.
In August the drama department
took a cast of 15 pupils to
perform Holes by Louis Sachar
at The Edinburgh Fringe and
they all enjoyed their six sell-out
performances.
Most of the children learn a
musical instrument and there
are choirs for all ages, several
orchestras and a large jazz band.
The sporting life at Cheam is
very impressive and all the
children love it.
Rugby, football and cricket are
the major team games for the
boys, with netball, rounders
and hockey for the girls.
There is a heated outdoor
swimming pool for use during
the summer term and six all-
weather tennis courts and a
nine-hole golf course; so there is
something for everyone.

PADWORTH College was
founded in 1963 by Oxford
University tutor, Peter Fison,
whose vision was to bring
Oxford’s educational philoso-
phy of tutorial teaching to
school-level education.
The school’s educational philoso-
phy aims at inspiring individual
uniqueness and encouraging
personal talents through a
highly-differentiated learning
approach in extremely small
class sizes.
Padworth’s approach is “You are
you and you are unique. If you
follow in the footprint of others,
you won’t make any of your
own.”
Students at Padworth embrace
the mind-set of global citizenship
and celebrate the enrichment of
global perspectives of approxi-
mately 30 different nationalities.
The world is their extended
classroom – their educational
village.
Padworth College is located close
to London, in an historic country
estate in the middle of a beauti-
ful, safe, countryside setting and
a 40-min drive from Heathrow
Airport.
The college offers an excellent
and well-rounded academic and
co-curricular programme for
students aged 13 to 19 (Year 9 to
13) as an ideal preparation for
top universities.
Connect with Padworth and join
their global community.
