Chard Prep School

Chard Prep School is a unique independent school in South Somerset, bordering East Devon and West Dorset.

Our children learn in beautiful historic Grade II* listed buildings steeped in rich educational heritage, while our talented teachers, caring support staff and dedicated parents create a tight-knit family atmosphere in which all children thrive.

Academic excellence is our guiding principle, with small classes and specialist teachers ably catering to children’s individual needs, and there are well-trodden pathways from Chard Prep School to leading grammar schools and local senior schools.
