PREP

Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.

Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.

School Description

The Orchard is an independent school and nursery between Luton and Bedford. Pupils attending the school come from surrounding towns and villages. The school is housed on two sites. The under three-year olds attend the Sharpenhoe Road site and the remainder attend the Higham Road site which was originally built as an infant school. The school promotes a holistic approach to care and education and aims to develop a passion for learning in the pupils and for them ‘to be the best that they can be’. The school was last inspected in April 2002. Provision for three-year olds was not inspected at this time.

Orchard School & Nursery Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective.
