Ludgrove is a rare find as the country’s only all boys’ full, fortnightly boarding prep school. Boys get a huge amount out of their day, surrounded by friends in 130 acres of grounds, and at weekends everyone is either ‘all in or all out’. None of the 186 boys feels left out or left behind. And parents know their sons are in good hands with Simon Barber at the helm, voted Best Head of a Prep School in the Tatler Schools Awards 2026. Although small in size, Ludgrove has big ambitions for boys where pastoral care is at the heart of everything. Whether it is reaching their academic potential (the majority of boys go on to Eton, Harrow, Marlborough, Radley and Winchester with several academic, sport, drama, music and art scholarships), mastering new sports, trying extra-curricular opportunities or pushing themselves to take a ‘leap of faith’, the approach goes across the board – nothing is beyond the boys’ reach, so they should aim high!
