General information


The school is junior and full boarding, with around 220 pupils. A range of music scholarships and bursaries are provided in term time. Facilities include a CDT centre, golf course, swimming pool (covered), a theatre, six hard tennis courts, 20 music practice rooms, 2 drum rooms, a squash court, games room, a library, a science lab, a computer room and a teaching block. The headmaster's house is attached to the main school.


The school is operated by the Cothill Educational Trust, a charity registered in England,[1] which also runs the nearby Chandlings School, Kennington (a co-educational preparatory day school serving ages 2–11), the Château de Sauveterre, Ashdown House, Kitebrook House, the Old Malthouse, Mowden Hall in Northumberland, and the campus of the former St Aubyns School, Rottingdean, which it acquired in 2012 and closed in 2013, now awaiting redevelopment. Trustees include Ralph Townsend, head of Winchester College.



Boarding


Cothill House is a full boarding school, meaning all of the 220 pupils there board full-time, and the only times they are allowed home are on organised weekends, exeats, half-terms and end-of-terms. Prince William and his brother Prince Harry were registered to attend Cothill, which was the choice of their father Charles, Prince of Wales,[2] but in the end they both attended a rival establishment, Ludgrove, instead.
