Cottesmore is a preparatory school in the United Kingdom, which has been preparing children for public schools since 1894. It is predominantly a full boarding school although there are a limited number of places for both weekly and day boarders. There are 150 boys and girls from the ages of 7 to 13.
Cottesmore is situated in 35 acres (140,000 m2) of its own grounds, the setting for its playing fields, cricket pitches, all-weather cricket nets, grass and hard tennis courts, golf course, lake and gardens.
[edit] History
Cottesmore was founded in 1894 in Hove, Sussex. It moved to its present site at Buchan Hill after World War II in 1946. The school is housed in a fine Victorian mansion known as Buchan Hill that was built for an ostrich-farming millionaire named Saillard in the 1880s.
