Moulsford is a thriving, independent day and boarding school of 360 pupils aged 3–13 in south Oxfordshire, set in picturesque grounds on the banks of the River Thames. Our co-educational Pre-Prep runs from Pre-School to Year 2 and is housed in a purpose-designed new building. The Prep School (Years 3 – 8) currently delivers an outstanding all-boys education and will be welcoming girls to Year 3 in 2026. By 2031 the school will be fully co-educational.

Moulsford's curriculum prepares pupils for senior schools, but also ensures they develop skills for life. Striving for excellent academic achievement, with foundations laid in the Pre-School to promote curiosity and a love of learning, the school's down-to-earth, family-focused approach embraces the fact that children of this age should be having fun at the same time as learning. The school's values of Kindness, Courage and Curiosity are at the heart of everything we do.

Moulsford's comprehensive extra-curricular programme includes many and varied opportunities for the pupils to try out new activities and discover and develop their own individual abilities and talents outside of the classroom. Pupils can try bike maintenance, cookery, photography, climbing, drama, chess, parkour and much more.

Moulsford's reputation for sport remains extremely strong with all pupils from Year 3 in teams A to F regularly playing competitive matches. Major sports are football, rugby, hockey, cricket and athletics. Music and drama remain popular with three quarters of pupils from Years 3 – 8 playing an instrument.

In Year 8, pupils progress to the UK's leading independent day and boarding schools at 13+ including Abingdon, Eton, Harrow, Magdalen College School, Radley, St Edward's Oxford, Bradfield, Marlborough, Wellington, Shiplake and Pangbourne.

The riverside setting provides a different dimension to prep school life with kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddleboards all put to use. At Forest School there are opportunities for fire building and making bows and arrows.

Our aim is to ensure that every child is listened to, supported, encouraged and given the opportunity to flourish.
