Cothill

✨ Time and time again, one word comes up amongst our current parents when describing Cothill: care.

Care in the way every child is known. Care in the attention to detail. Care that comes from being a small, close-knit, family environment where no one gets lost in the crowd.

It’s this sense of belonging that makes all the difference.

Come and see for yourself what makes Cothill so special.

The national average class size is 27. Ours is 13. ✨

In a class of 27, teachers are managing. In a class of 13, they’re truly teaching. Every child is known by name, by nature, and by need.

For children aged 7–13, these are the years that shape everything — confidence, curiosity, and how they see themselves as learners. Smaller classes mean more individual attention, earlier support and stronger relationships, not just with each other but teachers too.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all education. Because children aren’t one-size-fits-all.

Swipe to see exactly what a class of 13 means for your child. 👉
