It is really important to ask these questions and it may well be that you ultimately conclude that you would rather have your son attend a co-educational setting. I have myself had that mental quarrel about a single sex education and I have taught in co-ed schools and single-sex schools and indeed attended both as a child.
Performance in June 2019
In Spring 2020 we will be boasting a brand new sports Hall which will ensure our sporting provision is enhanced yet further. We will be developing our sporting programme to include Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton and we will also have indoor cricket nets to develop our cricket programme.
As a school for boys, we recognise that our pupils need space to learn; the hall will include a two-storey ancillary building with changing rooms and two extra classrooms on the first floor. The building will be located on the Pre-Prep site, behind the existing Thorpe Explorers’ nursery and reception classroom.
When completed, Thorpe will share this space, outside of school hours, with the local community, inviting them to hire it for sporting, theatrical or any activity that requires a generous, high ceiling space.

Co-educational schools cannot easily offer this and as a result it is often the boys who under-perform and get left behind, their achievements overshadowed by the performance of girls whose brains have matured more quickly. One of the main benefits of a school like Thorpe House is that our teachers are able to tailor the curriculum and deliver teaching and learning in a way that suits boys best.
Pre-Prep Department
A vibrant, inclusive and very happy school, where small classes ensure a high level of care and attention to every boy, and where boys are encouraged to embrace the values of friendship and respect, alongside perseverance and a love of learning.
Prep Department
A warm, friendly, family-like community where each boy is known by his teachers and taught in classes of no more than 16 boys. Due to these small class sizes, our teachers have the time, energy and experience to look after the individual needs of each and every boy.
Senior Department
We provide excellent teaching in a small school environment, where each boy is known by all of his teachers and is treated as an individual. We utilise our understanding of each student so that by the time they leave us they are equipped to face the challenges of a new school and higher education.
Thorpe House School, steeped in history
Thorpe House began life over 90 years ago as a traditional boys’ Prep school and whilst it has seen many changes over the years, the one constant has been the school’s dedication to providing its boys with an outstanding, all-round education.
