Best for academic results
Guildford High Junior School
The Sunday Times ranked Guildford High Junior School (above) as the top independent prep school in its 2020 league tables after its stellar SATs results for reading, grammar and maths. This all-girls’ school prides itself on being a “lively, happy place where girls blossom personally, intellectually and socially”. The junior school is selective but girls progress to the high-achieving senior school next door without having to take an additional exam. Having successfully led the junior school since 2016, current head Mike Gibb leaves at the end of the academic year and will be replaced by Allistair Williamson, deputy head of Surbiton Girls’ and Boys’ Preparatory School. guildfordhigh.co.uk
