Durston House School is an independent preparatory school in the UK for boys aged 4–13.[1] It is a leading West London prep school and is a noted feeder school of Merchant Taylors' School, Harrow School and St Paul's School. Day fees range from £3,780 to £4,590 per term, though scholarships and bursaries are available.[1]
History
Durston House was founded by the brothers Ben and Robert Pearce in 1886 and was essentially proprietarial for its first hundred years of existence.[2] The educational charity that runs the school was launched in the school's centenary year and the school has since trebled its size, with a pupil threshold of approximately 400.[1] Its current Headmaster is Ian Kendrick, who succeeded the late Peter Craze in January 2005.
Facilities
The school is located on three different sites within close proximity and enjoys the benefits of being a big modern school with facilities which further enhance the education it provides.
