Your Child’s Journey

A walk through the stages at S. Anselm’s

In a world that often rushes children to grow up, we believe in more time to play, more time to learn and more time to belong.

Children at S. Anselm’s relish their childhoods while experiencing an award‑winning school life filled with adventure and discovery.

Set in over 20 acres of magnificent Peak District countryside, S. Anselm’s is a day and boarding school for boys and girls from 3 months to 13 years, offering a balanced, enriching education that helps every child to thrive.

From the very first days in Little Puddings Nursery, through Pre‑School, Pre‑Prep and Prep, each stage of the journey is designed to nurture curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of learning.

Beyond S. Anselm’s

Our role is to guide each pupil towards the senior school that best matches their talents, ambitions and character.

Pupils move on from S. Anselm’s to a wide range of leading schools, including: Abbotsholme, Ampleforth, Birkdale, Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Denstone College, Downe House, Eton, Giggleswick, Harrow, Lady Manners, Malvern, Oakham, Oundle, Queen Margaret’s (York), Sheffield Girls’ High School, Repton, Rugby, St Edward’s (Oxford), Sedbergh, Shrewsbury, Tudor Hall, Uppingham, Worksop College, Winchester, Wycombe Abbey and many more.

We aim to send pupils on to their next schools not only well prepared academically, but confident, kind, curious and ready to make the most of every opportunity ahead.
