St Philip’s is a small Roman Catholic preparatory school for boys with accommodation for just over 100 pupils.  Although the large majority of pupils are Roman Catholic, non-Catholics are welcomed when places become available and they are expected to take a full and active part in the religious life of the school.

The school caters for a range of academic abilities and we hope to develop each pupil’s potential as fully as possible by offering a broad and balanced curriculum, combining a strong academic, moral and religious education with a range of creative and sporting opportunities.

We aim for every pupil to feel a valued member of the school community and to have a sense of being personally cared for by our teaching staff. Having experienced this, we hope that he is inspired to respond to others in a similar fashion.

Above all, St Philip’s is a Christian community whose atmosphere should reflect just that. Prospective parents are welcome to book an individual appointment with the Headmaster, who will also take them round the school.
