If you’re on the lookout for an exceptional school that offers the perfect balance of academic ambition and pastoral care, Thorpe House Prep School in Gerrards Cross might just be the place to start – or continue – your child’s educational journey.
Reception Places for 2025 & 2026
Thorpe House is currently offering a limited number of Reception places for September 2025, and registration is already open for 2026. Just a short drive from High Wycombe, this independent boys’ school is known for delivering a thoughtful, enriching, and inspiring start to school life.
In Reception, a dedicated team of Early Years teachers and practitioners deliver a curriculum carefully designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Learning takes place in a purpose-built setting with engaging classrooms, and through plenty of hands-on exploration in the school’s immersive outdoor spaces, including their own Forest School.

Small class sizes ensure individual attention and academic success while weekly lessons in music, swimming, languages, and Forest School, all led by specialist teachers, add depth and variety to the learning experience.
Whether it’s through imaginative play, STEAM activities, or educational trips linked to classroom topics, the Reception year at Thorpe House is all about building confident, curious learners who love coming to school.
The ethos is simple but powerful: nurture the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally, and physically – and you’ll build the strongest foundations for future success and lifelong learning.

Academic Scholarships for Years 3 and 5
For those with older children, Thorpe House is also currently inviting applications for academic scholarships for entry into Year 3 and Year 5. These scholarships recognise academic excellence, rewarding outstanding potential and a strong alignment with the school’s ethos.
The process is straightforward: simply register your child through the standard admissions route, stating your interest in a scholarship. And if you’d like to find out more before applying, the admissions team is more than happy to chat through the details on 01753 882 474.
