Admissions
I am truly grateful to this school for laying the foundations of [our son's] life.

A Welcome from Our Admissions Manager
Welcome to Horris Hill School – a leading independent co-educational day and boarding school set in 65 acres of stunning countryside on the Berkshire and Hampshire border, near Newbury.
As Admissions Manager, it’s my pleasure to introduce you to a school where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to discover their unique flair. Whether joining as a day pupil or a boarder, boys and girls alike are supported to thrive - academically, socially, and personally - in an environment that is both nurturing and ambitious.
Since our founding in 1888 by A. H. Evans, a former Master at Winchester, academic excellence has been at the heart of our mission. His vision still guides us today, and our pupils continue to achieve outstanding results, progressing to some of the top senior schools in the country, including Eton, Radley, Harrow and of course, Winchester. As we grow and evolve - including extending our provision to Year 11 in the coming years, while still continuing to support Common Entrance and Scholarships at Year 8 - our commitment to high standards and individual care remains unwavering.
Horris Hill combines tradition with forward-thinking education, offering an exceptional all-round experience. Our beautiful grounds provide children with space to explore, play, and learn, while our wide-ranging curriculum and co-curricular programme help each child uncover their passions and potential.
Choosing the right school for your child is no small decision, and we’re here to support you throughout the process. I warmly invite you to visit us and experience first-hand what makes Horris Hill School such a special place.
With best wishes,
Michelle Trigwell
Admissions Manager
