Welcome from the Headmasters
We feel privileged to live and work in beautiful surroundings with such a talented and committed staff, wonderful boys and supportive parents.


History
Ludgrove was founded in 1892 by Arthur Dunn in north London. On Arthur Dunn's death in 1901, G.O. Smith and W.J. Oakley became headmasters and ran the school until 1934. Frank Henley then took on the headship, but soon handed over to Alan Barber and Tim Shaw.

Ethos
The principal aims of the school are for boys to grow and develop in a happy caring environment, to explore and expand their potential and to learn to develop an awareness and concern for others around them. We aim to prepare our boys to meet the demanding challenges they will experience at the next stage of their education with confidence and good humour.

Setting and Facilities
The school is set in beautiful grounds of 130 acres in rural Berkshire, with gardens and woodland in which to play. The boys are free to build dens and camps in the woods and many choose to grow their own flowers and vegetables in small, shared gardens. There are extensive playing fields and a wonderful nine-hole golf course. Other facilities include two squash courts, a sports hall / theatre, two Eton fives courts, four tennis courts and a magnificent 20 metre indoor swimming pool. There are thriving Music and CDT departments and boys involve themselves in a number of drama productions, concerts and exhibitions.
