Philosophy

Not just a school ~ a way of life

Somerset House is an independent preparatory school that strives to provide an excellent all round education for all children, preparing them thoroughly for higher education and equipping them to make a meaningful contribution to society.

Somerset House is firmly committed to recognising and developing each child’s individuality and potential.
We provide a stimulating and challenging academic programme emphasising child centred learning, deep thinking and the development of life-long study habits.

For sixty-one years Somerset House has remained a caring environment based on Christian values where self-esteem is nurtured, initiative is encouraged and children are able to develop self discipline while maintaining an awareness and concern for others.
