A full and inspiring education in a magical setting
Founded in 1868, Orwell Park is a leading co-educational day and boarding prep school for children aged 2 to 13. Set within 110 acres of beautiful parkland overlooking the River Orwell, the school provides an exceptional education in an environment where children can thrive academically, socially and personally.
Our purpose-built Nursery and Pre-Prep offer an inspiring start to school life, combining excellent teaching with outdoor learning and Forest School experiences. Throughout the school, a broad curriculum is enhanced by more than 50 co-curricular activities, helping pupils discover new interests, build confidence and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Outstanding facilities, including sports pitches, an AstroTurf, outdoor swimming pool, golf course, bushcraft camp and Victorian observatory, support a rich programme of sport, adventure and educational visits. These experiences encourage curiosity, resilience and independence while creating lasting memories.
Academic success is balanced by a strong commitment to wellbeing. Through our award-winning approach and dedicated OrWellbeing Hub, pupils are supported to flourish both in and beyond the classroom. Small class sizes and personalised learning ensure children are challenged, nurtured and exceptionally well prepared for senior school, with many securing scholarships and places at leading independent schools.
Boarding is at the heart of Orwell Park life and is available from Year 3, with full, weekly and flexible options. Combining academic ambition, outstanding pastoral care, extensive opportunities and a warm community, Orwell Park offers children the space, support and confidence to become the very best version of themselves.

Orwell Park School is proud to support military families through a competitive fee remission alongside the Ministry of Defence’s Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA). Our connection with the Armed Forces is longstanding, dating back to the Second World War when the Desert Rats were stationed at the school while preparing for D-Day. Today, we are privileged to welcome many pupils from service families and understand the importance of continuity, stability and exceptional pastoral support.
With boarding available from Year 3, Orwell Park is a natural choice for military families seeking a home-from-home environment. Our flexible boarding options, outstanding pastoral care and strong family ethos help children feel settled, supported and happy, while benefiting from an excellent education and extensive co-curricular programme. Set within 110 acres of beautiful Suffolk parkland overlooking the River Orwell, pupils have the space and freedom to grow in confidence and independence.
Our vibrant boarding community enjoys a rich programme of evenings, weekends, trips and activities, creating lasting friendships and memorable experiences. Combined with Orwell Park’s military fee remission, CEA funding significantly reduces the overall cost of school fees, making an outstanding independent boarding education an accessible and attractive option for eligible service families.
