A Home Away From Home.
Community is at the heart of this school, it is the people who make Hazlegrove what it is, a warm ready-made family, the home away from home with shared values across the Hazlegrove village. Hazlegrove is a wonderful place for children to attend school, with broad open spaces, dedicated staff, fantastic facilities and complete commitment to providing the very best of all that we do, we have a great deal of which to be proud. However, don't just take our word for it - please read below for more!
We are very lucky at Hazlegrove to have a tremendously supportive parent body who are welcome the opportunity to talk to those families who are considering the school for their children.
Our team in Admissions would be delighted to put you in contact with our current parents, please do contact Admissions for their help with this.
Hazlegrove has been a fantastic experience for our younger daughter and she reaps the benefits of the kind, safe and nurturing environment of school every day.
We can’t quite believe this is our last term at Hazlegrove - we have so many fond memories from our time at the school and as you can imagine it has been a huge part of our family life. Our ambition was for the girls to have a joyful time at school, for them to realise their full potential and to give them a foundation that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. We are so very proud of their achievements to date and Hazlegrove has been their constant and exceeded all expectations. Your team have all continued to sprinkle the 'magic dust' over the years that is the envy of other prep schools.
It’s such a difficult decision to make; to send your 7 year old off to boarding school when they still sit in a full car seat, believe in the Tooth Fairy & Father Christmas and watch CBeebies, they are so, so little and yet Hazlegrove has got it so, so right; that perfect balance of letting them be children and innocent for as long as possible whilst allowing them to mature at their own rate, never hastening. With the general fast pace of society, I think you’d be hard pressed to achieve that at home, even if you really wanted to. In deepest Somerset 100 lucky children get to do just that!
