Grittleton House School is a small, family-run independent co-educational school for children who range in age from 2-16. The house itself is set in 20 acres of glorious Wiltshire countryside, and has a staff of highly qualified and dedicated teachers. We firmly believe in traditional family values, courtesy, consideration for others, responsibility for oneself, and these attributes are nurtured in small classes.

Our aim is to help each child achieve its fullest potential, be that purely academic or in other fields, and our motto ‘To strive is to Accomplish’ is, we hope, a daily fact of life. Every child has the potential to succeed, and at Grittleton House, it is our aim that all pupils will do just that, whatever their abilities. As a non-selective school, we will always have a large range of abilities – the brightest children will be encouraged to accept more challenges: those who need it will be given extra help until they overcome their particular difficulties. By the time the children leave Grittleton House, we hope that not only will they have achieved excellent academic results, but that they will have a feeling of self-worth and the confidence and values to equip them for a happy and successful life in society.

We hope, when you have examined this website, you will want to come and see the school. Do, please, telephone for an appointment. We shall be delighted to show you round.

Headmistress
