Danes Hill School

What Danes Hill School does

Danes Hill School is a co-educational, independent day preparatory school founded in 1947, operating across two campuses in Oxshott, Surrey. The Pre-Prep (Bevendean) site serves ages 2-6 and the Prep site on Leatherhead Road serves ages 6-13, with the curriculum structured around an Ignite programme for Years 2-5 and an Elev8 programme for Years 6-8, complemented by a timetabled Personal Development and Citizenship curriculum. The school runs on a 55-acre landscaped campus, has approximately 99 staff, and received an ISI 'excellent in all areas' rating plus 2026 commendations for Student Wellbeing and Best Use of Education Technology.

The core technology layer is a digital learning infrastructure built on a 1-to-1 device programme that puts an individual device in the hands of every pupil, integrated through the My School Portal and SOCS communication platforms. Co-curricular and pastoral systems include ParentPay for payments, Eventbrite for community events, and a portfolio of internal and partner-led holiday camps (Swim, Drama, Art, Craft, Hockey, Performing Arts, plus Camp Beaumont and Unlock Hockey partnerships) and wraparound care services (Early Ravens and Late Ravens). The school holds the WAS Award for Schools and NACE Accreditation.

The business model is a recurring tuition subscription paid by individual parents, supplemented by pay-as-you-go wraparound care and holiday camp fees. School fees are not publicly disclosed; ancillary pricing ranges from £7 to £45 per session for camps and care. Admissions are non-selective and distributed across Surrey and South London. Revenue is undisclosed and the school operates as a non-profit educational institution governed by a Board of Governors (Chair: Mr Cedric Ntumba), with no parent company, private equity involvement, or external ownership structure identified.
