Handcross Park School is an independent co-educational preparatory school in Handcross, between Crawley, Horsham and Haywards Heath West Sussex, England. The school provides private co-education from the Nursery aged 2, through Pre-Prep and into Prep until aged 13, with a mix of day pupils and boarders. The school traces its origins back to 1887, and moved to its current site in 1968. It is situated on a 50-acre (200,000 m2) estate, and facilities include a large sports hall, purpose buit light and spacious Nursery and a recently built swimming pool. As of 2001, the school had 303 pupils.
There are four houses at the school: Britons, Normans, Saxons and Vikings. The current Headmaster, Graeme Owton, joined the school in March 2011, taking over the reins from Warren J Hilton who became Head in 1993.
In June 2011 a merger with Brighton College was announced.[1]
The formal rooms and parkland are available for weddings and functions.
