Good Schools Guide Review

"A traditional English prep school where children are allowed to be children for as long as possible... expected to climb trees, get muddy, tear around on their bikes and have adventures outside; lucky them."

— The Good Schools Guide 

We are incredibly proud to share our latest independent review from The Good Schools Guide. As a trusted, entirely independent school directory, their editors look past the glossy prospectus to capture a school's true DNA—and we are thrilled they recognised exactly what we strive to protect every day at our 85-acre countryside campus.


Welcoming day and boarding families from across Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, and London, as well as children from across the UK, military families, and international pupils, Old Buckenham Hall (OBH) is renowned for blending an idyllic rural childhood with exceptional senior school preparation.

We encourage you to read our full, independent review to see why our phone-free, adventurous, and academically ambitious UK boarding school community feels so right for so many families worldwide.
