Milbourne Lodge School is a co-educational pre-prep and preparatory school for children aged four to thirteen.

Located in Esher, Surrey, the school is housed in a Victorian mansion situated on 8.5 acres (3.4 ha) of Surrey countryside.

## History

[edit]

Milbourne Lodge was founded in 1912 by Harvey Wyatt, father of the politician Woodrow Wyatt,[1] who established the school in Arbrook Lane, Surrey. The school is situated on its original site, with the preparatory year groups occupying the original school building and the pre-preparatory year groups taught in what was previously the Headmaster's house.

In 1948 the school was bought by Norman Hale who was Headmaster for fifty-one years.[2][3]

In 2007 Milbourne Lodge became part of the Cognita group. The present head is Judy Waite.

In 2012, the school was found to have "improperly expelled a brother and sister after their parents criticised the parents' association's handling of finances".[4] Judge Robert Reid added that "'I am surprised that an apparently 100-year-old school has got such a shambles by way of a parents' association'".[4]

## Notable staff

* Godfrey Sampson, composer and organist[5]
