MOULSFORD
Be More,
Be mOULSFORD
Moulsford is a thriving independent Prep School in South Oxfordshire. The best way to measure our success is to visit the school, soak up the atmosphere for yourself, and meet the children and staff who make up our warm and very special community.
Our co-educational Pre-School and Pre-Prep (for children age 3+) is housed in a purpose-designed new building which opened in September 2022.
HEAD'S WELCOME
Welcome to Moulsford, an independent day and boarding school of 370 children aged 3-13 years, set in tranquil and picturesque grounds on the banks of the River Thames surrounded by the rolling hills of South Oxfordshire.
At Moulsford, the message is straightforward. We want to ensure that every child is listened to, supported, encouraged and given the opportunity to flourish. We strive for excellent academic achievement, with foundations laid in the Pre-School to promote curiosity and a love of learning. Our down-to-earth, family-focussed approach embraces the fact that children of this age should be having fun at the same time as learning.
Our co-educational Pre-School (3-4 years) and Pre-Prep (4-7 years) offers girls and boys of pre-prep age the opportunity to benefit from a Moulsford experience. The Prep School (7-13 years) is currently all boys, but is moving towards co-education and will welcome girls to Year 3 from September 2026. By 2031, the whole school will be fully co-educational.
As a school and as teachers, our goal is to engage, enthuse and inspire our pupils in all that they do. From maths to music, reading to rugby, and chemistry to kayaking, we aim high and encourage all of our pupils to ‘go for it’ and give of their best in all that they do.

Good Schools Guide
Admissions
We aim to make the Admissions process as friendly and straightforward as possible. The majority of children join the school in September, although it is not uncommon for pupils to join in either January or April.
Academic success
While we do genuinely believe in educating the ‘whole’ child, our primary focus is in ensuring children receive an excellent academic grounding and that a love of learning is instilled at Prep-School age. Our results speak for themselves, and we send a high proportion of pupils to academically selective schools at 13+, either through the Common Entrance examination or the Academic Scholarship.
Pastoral care
We want pupils to be happy, feel valued and enjoy coming to school. Our aim to provide exceptional pastoral care permeates every aspect of life within the school.
Expectations are high, in terms of manners, discipline and general behaviour, and the children respond accordingly. There is a strong rapport between staff and pupils, and a sense of mutual respect which comes through working together in a supportive and caring environment.
