Headmaster’s Welcome

Perrott Hill is a truly exceptional preparatory school where children aged 2 to 13 positively flourish.  

Nestled on a stunning, historic estate in South Somerset, near the borders of Devon and Dorset, our school motto is ‘time and space for a full education’. This means time for your child to experience a rich, carefree childhood filled with adventure and joy, while also receiving a world-class education that equips them for the future. They will develop independence, gain invaluable skills and enjoy the beauty and freedom of the great outdoors.
