Parkside School is a close-knit, family-centred community where every child is known, supported and encouraged to thrive. Set in 45 acres of Surrey countryside, it offers an inspiring education that balances academic challenge with creativity, wellbeing and character development.
Specialist teaching begins in the early years for PE, Games, Swimming, Forest School and Computing, extending to all subjects from Year 3. Pupils achieve excellent academic outcomes, progressing to many of the country’s leading senior schools through Common Entrance and scholarship awards.
Sport is a key part of school life, with children learning fundamentals from Nursery onwards and enjoying a wide variety of sports and competitive fixtures that cater to all abilities and interests.
Parents are warmly welcomed into school life through regular events, fostering a strong sense of community. Families consistently praise the exceptional pastoral care and personalised support, often saying, ‘when you join Parkside, you join a family for life’.
Prospective families are encouraged to visit and experience the Parkside vibe first hand. Personal tours are offered year round with Mrs McMurdo, and Discovery Sessions each term give children interested in Pre-Prep or Year 3 a chance to enjoy a morning at school and meet other pupils.
