History

Twyford claims to be the oldest preparatory school in the United Kingdom.
It moved to its present site in 1809, but there has been a school for boys in Twyford since the seventeenth century. During the nineteenth century buildings were added, including a large schoolroom built during the 1820s, and a mid-Victorian chapel. Original buildings are still used and form an integral part of today's campus.
Traditionally, the school only accepted boys. This tradition ended at the end of the twentieth century; the school is now co-educational.

Current status

A major series of developments coincided with the admission of girls to the school, and have continued in recent years. Building works and improvements have been undertaken, although historic fabric has generally been retained. In addition the sports grounds and other outdoor facilities have been upgraded.

Twyford is a private school, and a registered charity. It accepts both day pupils and borders, and has a pre-preparatory school on the same campus for children below the age of five. It has capacity for around 300 pupils between the ages of 3 and 13, with boarders being accepted from the age of 8. It is a Church of England
