Bilton Grange Preparatory School

Bilton Grange is a special place: a place where childhood is protected and futures are prepared. A place which celebrates its heritage and embraces innovation. A place with strong moral values and a human heart. A place where friendships are born and memories are made.

Most importantly, Bilton Grange is a place where children want to be because they stay younger longer and become the hero of their own story. Here they have the time, space and opportunity to be themselves, to develop morally and intellectually and to establish their individual character. Here they take their first steps in the adventure of life.

The glorious environment is a big factor in our success. With over 90 acres of woodland and open space, as well as unique Pugin architecture, Biltonians are inspired by their surroundings to become enthusiastic, imaginative and inquisitive learners

Life after Bilton Grange - Our strong relationship with Rugby School provides broader educational philosophy, ambition and resource and it is an onward journey for many of our pupils but it is just one pathway; we have a strong record of preparing Biltonians for the UK’s other top senior schools too.

Academic ethos - High academic standards are the bedrock of a Bilton Grange education but they are not measured only in scholarship success; more important is the academic improvement of every child, whatever their level. We focus upon having a positive approach to learning, on developing the confidence to ask questions and reason ideas, on the ability to work collaboratively as well as individually, and on the skill of adaptability which is so important for a successful life in the mid-21st Century.

Life at Bilton Grange - In a fast-moving and, at times, remote world, we are well aware of the need to feel connected. Consequently, whether boarding or day, the pupils and their families will find Bilton Grange a welcoming and fun community. Parents, grandparents and guardians will experience convivial hospitality at numerous school events: matches, performances and other social functions. But it is not just those attending live who see their children in action – with recent advancements in technology we have a number of events streamed to a digital audience so that all family members can feel included wherever they are in the world. Inclusivity is very important to us

A day at Bilton Grange is a busy and fulfilled one for our pupils, whether they are learning new things in the classroom, playing sport or creating art, design and music.

Our pupils, with strong pastoral support from caring Bilton Grange staff, learn even beyond the classrooms, laboratories and pitches, developing into balanced and resilient individuals, equipped to deal with the wider world around them. Whether on a school trip to locations near and far, or through our Learning4Life programme, pupils develop a robust sense of self-care and well-being, they enjoy passion for their subjects and throw themselves in to exploration both in the classroom and out in our grounds.

On top of this, the variety of clubs and activities on offer after the School day has finished, is designed to encourage our pupils to try something new, stretch their wings and discover what motivates them and uncover hidden talents. It is our hope that pupils will leave Bilton Grange as confident, balanced and inquisitive young people who look forward to the years of creating and learning ahead of them.
