Edgeborough School

Edgeborough School

Edgeborough School is a prep school located in Farnham, Surrey in England. It is situated at Frensham Place and provides education for 350 boys and girls aged between 3 and 13. It became co-ed in 1992 and since this time, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of girls attending the school. The current headmaster is Richard Jackson.

Edgeborough is in many respects a traditional prep school with four houses: Webb, Terry, James and Mitchell, bi-weekly chapel services and Friday morning assembly, including prayers and hymns. There is a prefectorial system in which sixth formers (year 8 students, aged 12-13) may become prefects, monitors or house or sport captains.

Edgeborough competes against other schools in sports such as football, rugby, hockey, netball, cricket and rounders.

Notable alumni include Olympic gold medallist hurdler Bob Tisdall, poet Keith Douglas and actors Jeremy Sinden, Marc Sinden and Andrew Hawkins.
