About Witham Hall Preparatory School

Witham Hall School is an independent co-educational boarding and day school situated on the outskirts of the village of Witham-on-the-Hill, Lincolnshire. Founded in 1959 and now operating as a charitable trust managed by a board of governors, the school welcomes pupils from the ages of four to thirteen. The site includes a pre-preparatory department for pupils up to age 8, with older pupils accommodated in a separate building on the same grounds. Boarding is available from Year 4 upwards on either a weekly or flexi basis. The school aims to enable each child to achieve their own academic and physical potential through a broad and balanced curriculum spanning academia, art, drama, music, technology and sport. It seeks to foster positive attitudes to learning and life, encouraging self-discipline and confidence alongside a sensitivity to others within a Christian environment. Pupils come from a range of business and professional backgrounds, mostly from the local area. The school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, with some receiving additional specialist support and others catered for within lessons. More able pupils are supported through ability grouping in certain subjects and through the extra-curricular activities on offer.
