Month: July 2025

We are delighted to welcome a new Houseparent family to Hatherop Castle School from September 2025. With extensive experience in education and a deep-rooted love of boarding life, they are looking forward to creating a warm and supportive home-from-home for our boarders, helping every child thrive and flourish.

Hatherop Castle School’s Arts Week brought learning to life through a vibrant mix of creative workshops, performances and artistic exploration. Pupils from Reception to Prep 8 immersed themselves in everything from ceramics to theatre, culminating in a spectacular finale that celebrated imagination, talent and the adventure of learning through the arts.

Hatherop Castle School is enhancing its boarding provision with a flexible voucher system, earlier suppers and new activity times, giving families more choice. Set in a nurturing, close-knit community, boarding here helps children build confidence, resilience and lifelong friendships, all within the beautiful surroundings of the Cotswolds countryside.

Prep 1 at Hatherop Castle School explored biodiversity by raising caterpillars into butterflies, releasing them near our beehives to support local pollinators. This hands-on experience deepened their respect for nature and reflected our values of ambition and character, nurturing a lifelong appreciation for wildlife within our beautiful Cotswold estate.
