Welcome to St Ives School

St Ives School, established in 1911 as an independent school for girls, is set in eight acres of woodland in the beautiful Surrey countryside just outside Haslemere. The School caters for girls aged 4 - 11 years and has a co-educational nursery, The Ivies, open to children from 2½ years old. 

St Ives offers a well-rounded education with the aim of building confidence and nurturing ability in a culture of strong pastoral care, designed to maximise the potential of each child. We passionately believe that the single-sex education we offer allows our girls to learn and develop in the purposeful and supportive environment which generally suits them best at this formative stage.

The School has an excellent record in the classroom, on the sports field and in the arts. As a truly independent school, with no specific allegiance to any senior school, we are able to advise parents in their choice of the right senior school for their daughters and are proud of our girls' success in winning places at their first-choice schools.

St Ives is a happy, friendly school and our doors are always open to existing or prospective parents to visit us and experience personally the special atmosphere.
