The Old School Henstead is proudly an independent school in Suffolk, offering co-educational nursery and prep, set within a 3-acre campus. Nestled in a picturesque rural setting, we are just 10 minutes away from the sea and from the towns of Beccles and Lowestoft. Our nursery welcomes children from 2, while the prep school runs from Reception through to Year 6. At our independent school in Suffolk, our teachers and parents work together to give pupils the best possible start in their education, laying strong foundations that empower them to step confidently into the world beyond our doors. We invite you to take a glimpse into our school community by reading our newsletter to see what's happening in our classrooms. We teach a wide variety of subjects which promote a broad range of knowledge and skills, while encouraging pupils to discover and pursue their own particular interests and passions.
