Known Here
Being known gives our children the confidence to embrace every opportunity. Every opportunity prepares them for whatever comes next.
We’re proud to have been named ‘Best Prep School in the UK 2026’ by the Tatler Schools Guide and ‘Best of the Best for Extra-Curricular 2026’ by The Week UK Independent Schools Guide. We were also a finalist for ‘Independent Prep School of the Year 2026’.

Small classes and inspiring teachers ensure every child is genuinely known, supported and appropriately challenged. High expectations sit alongside care and encouragement, creating an environment where pupils feel secure enough to be ambitious and confident to take risks.
Excellence at Cargilfield is reflected both in the outstanding results our pupils achieve and in the resilience, determination and character they develop that will guide them throughout their lives.
Children are encouraged to explore their interests and build a strong sense of identity and belonging, taking pride in their time at Cargilfield. From sport and the arts to outdoor learning and more than 70 clubs and activities, every child has the chance to discover new passions and strengths.
We place great importance on a truly all-round education. Each child is supported to make the most of their abilities in every aspect of school life, whether in the classroom, on the games field or on the stage. Through these experiences, they gain the self-belief to embrace future challenges.
We hope you enjoy exploring our website and discovering what makes Cargilfield such a special place for children to learn and grow.
