The motivation to learn is a powerful force and one we champion and channel without limit. These early years are not just a stepping stone. They are the foundation on which everything else is built, and we believe they should be nothing short of extraordinary.
We nurture a love of learning, encourage children to be confident in asking questions, fearless in making mistakes and excited and ambitious when branching out to broaden their horizons and reach their potential.
Ours is an education rooted in academic rigour, tailored to each child, creativity, wellbeing and unforgettable childhood experiences. From STEM experiments and specialist sport, to bringing the house down in our state-of-the-art theatre, children are encouraged to explore their talents and passions.
Fundamental to our success is the value we place on parent partnership and individualised care. We see progression at Cumnor as a collective endeavour; you can see and feel the strength of our community on a daily basis.
As both Head of Pre-Prep and a parent, I know first-hand what a special place this is; I genuinely believe this is the very best start a child could possibly have. Each child is noticed, every moment is meaningful, and a strong foundation for life is built. It is a privilege to lead a setting where children feel confident, curious and happy.”
If this is the kind of beginning you want for your child, we would be delighted to welcome you. Come and see for yourself!

The Early Years at Cumnor are the stepping stones where early learnings are reinforced, and new habits are created for life. We think of it as an adventure, and like all adventures, every path will be different.
