Grittleton House School was a small, family-run independent co-educational school and children's daycare provider situated in the village of Grittleton near Chippenham in Wiltshire, England. The school closed in July 2016;[1] in its final year it had around 150 pupils and toddlers aged 2-16.
Grittleton House was non-selective and therefore classes were made up of pupils with a wide range of abilities. It offered pupils small classes and claimed to teach traditional family values, courtesy, consideration for others, and responsibility for oneself.
The house was built as a country house by James Thomson between 1832 and 1856. It is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
