Located in the idyllic Hampshire countryside, our private nursery and independent preparatory school ignites the imagination of boys and girls aged 2 years 9 months - 11. Here at Kingscourt, we believe nursery and school has a big part to play in creating an amazing childhood. Adventures await through our enriched curriculum.
We create this magic by offering an enriched curriculum enabling children to learn both inside and outside the classroom. Located in the village of Catherington, between Petersfield and Portsmouth, our school is housed in a beautiful Georgian building surrounded by acres of private playing fields and walled gardens - the perfect setting for children to thrive.

Catherington House was built in the eighteenth century, originally as a family home to Admiral Hood, mentor to Admiral Lord Nelson, before being transformed into a school in 1995. The founders and community of parents who had signed their children up to start at Kingscourt rolled up their sleeves and worked together to ready the building for opening.
We are privileged to have the most fantastic outdoor space and a nursery and school community of adventurers keen to get out in the fresh air. Our safe and secluded walled garden has been home to many dens over the past two decades, our children can play on our wonderful outside instruments, take a turn around our Trim Trail assault course or simply enjoy playing and learning amongst the wonderful surroundings our garden offers.

Thank you for your interest in Kingscourt School. Finding and joining a new school can often be an unsettling process for both children and parents, especially during this current time.

Outdoor learning has become a very hot topic in recent years and it is something that we feel very passionate about here at Kingscourt. If you are considering sending your child to a private nursery, you are likely to ask the question, are there any entry requirements? The simple answer is, it depends on the school.
