At Sedbergh Prep, we develop happy, confident children with a “can-do” attitude. Independent in spirit, yet always mindful of those around them. Our aim is simple: to nurture curiosity, courage, and kindness in every child, inspiring a lifelong love of learning and a readiness to embrace new opportunities.
Set in our breathtaking location among the fells and alongside the River Lune, the school offers the time, space, and inspiration for children to enjoy their childhood while developing the skills and confidence they need for the future. Our ambitious curriculum, taught with care and creativity, encourages exploration both inside and outside the classroom, fostering a true spirit of adventure.
The Ways of the Wolf; ambition, collaboration, courage, creativity, kindness, and responsibility, shape every aspect of life at Sedbergh Prep. These values underpin our community, where every child is known, supported, and celebrated for who they are. Whether in lessons, on the sports field, or on the stage, our pupils are encouraged to discover their passions and develop the resilience and self-belief that will serve them for life.
Our boarding houses sit at the heart of a warm and welcoming school community, where laughter and friendship thrive. Whether boarding full-time, flexibly, or attending as day pupils, all children are cared for with genuine kindness and understanding, ensuring they feel at home from the moment they arrive.
We are proud of the excellence recognised in our most recent Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) report, which commended our commitment to the highest standards in all areas of school life.
At Casterton, Sedbergh Prep, every child is encouraged to be ambitious, independent, and open-minded. We invite you to visit us and experience for yourself the energy, joy, and sense of belonging that make our school so special.
