HEADMASTER'S WELCOME
Twyford is a school with a distinctive spirit. For over 200 years, it has been a place where children don’t just learn - they thrive.
We believe in nurturing each child’s unique gifts and potential, enabling them to grow in confidence within a community that is ambitious yet supportive, challenging yet nurturing, forward-thinking yet rooted in proud tradition. Academically, the breadth and richness of our curriculum continues to grow. By Year 8, pupils study 18 subjects, taught by specialists who bring both expertise and passion to their teaching.

At Twyford, children are known, challenged and supported to become confident learners and thoughtful young people. Our purpose is simple: to help every child thrive, now and for life.
This variety gives every child the chance to discover their interests and talents, and with 26 scholarships and exhibitions awarded this year, our pupils’ success speaks for itself. We believe every child can succeed, and through tailored support, challenge, and encouragement, we ensure each one achieves their very best.
Learning here is about much more than knowledge. Creativity and independent thinking lie at the heart of our approach. Whether in art, drama, sport or music - or in how pupils approach challenges in the classroom - we encourage them to think differently, stay curious, and take ownership of their learning. These skills are what prepare them for life beyond school: the confidence to solve problems, the resilience to keep going when things are tough, and the joy of being lifelong learners.

As one of the few fully independent prep schools remaining, Twyford is dedicated entirely to the growth of children in their prep years. Our independence allows us to shape an environment that nurtures curiosity, builds character, and lays strong academic and social foundations. We support every family in finding the right senior school - day or boarding, co-ed or single-sex, selective or more rounded - because our success is defined by theirs.
Finally, whether in the classroom, behind the scenes, or in operational roles, every member of the Twyford team plays a vital part in creating a nurturing and inspiring environment for our pupils. At the heart of it all is our exceptional staff, whose care, dedication, and passion make Twyford such a special place.
We look forward to welcoming you to discover all that makes us Twyford.
