Meet the Head | Welcome to Feltonfleet | Feltonfleet School

Welcome to Feltonfleet!

I believe that the most meaningful personal growth happens when a child’s natural talents and skills are nurtured.

Within our caring and supportive community, which feels like a true family, children are empowered to discover their unique gifts and develop self-confidence, independence, and compassion.

Our core belief - that individuals really matter - guides our values-driven ethos of honesty, responsibility, respect, and kindness. You can feel the joy and laughter throughout our school, whether in the classrooms, on the playing fields, or in the boarding house. Our unique blend of day and boarding pupils creates a real buzz around school. Feltonfleet children are optimistic and inquisitive, with a thirst for life and learning. They thrive here.

Our Five Year Strategic Plan, guiding us to July 2029, reflects our vision that every pupil reaches Destination 13 as a happy, independent, confident, resilient, empathetic, tolerant, and emotionally intelligent young person, ready to make a real impact in their senior schools and beyond.

Feltonfleet’s staff who combine talent and dedication, an inspiring curriculum, and 25 acres of beautiful grounds with exceptional facilities encourages children to imagine, think creatively, explore the world, and strive for excellence. We hold high standards and believe that academic achievement and the joy of childhood go hand in hand. In a rare offering for a prep school, our Wellbeing lessons are designed to nourish emotional wellbeing, build resilience, and support lasting mental fitness.

As our pupils progress through the four stages of their Feltonfleet journey, they consistently secure places and scholarships in a variety of disciplines to leading independent senior schools in a variety of academic, sporting, musical, and all-round disciplines. They leave us well prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.

Their time at Feltonfleet covers a vital period in a young person’s life. From the start to the end of their journey here, I am privileged to witness their remarkable growth as they become independent learnings and emotionally aware young individuals.

I warmly invite you to visit Feltonfleet and discover what makes our school a wonderful choice for your child’s preparatory education.
