There are c255 pupils at Witham, 175 in the Prep School and 80 in the Pre-Prep.

If after a visit with the Headmaster you wish to pursue a place at Witham Hall for your child(ren), prospective pupils must first be registered for entry by completing and returning a Registration Form with a non-refundable registration fee of £100 to be included on our entry lists.

During the Michaelmas Term of the academic year prior to entry parents are asked to complete an Acceptance Form to accept the offer of a place for their child based on the terms and conditions. At this point, we ask for a deposit of £1,400 to secure the place. This deposit is credited against the last account payable, with any surplus refunded.

Families who have accepted a place are invited to welcome events the term prior to their child’s entry to begin the transition to Witham.

Demand for places across the School is strong and early contact is advised. For Pre-Prep, places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

While there is no formal entrance exam to the Prep School, we will ask to see previous school reports and informally assess each child when they visit the School. The preferred age of entry to the Prep School is at eight when a child joins Year 4, but late entry will always be considered where places are available.

The vast majority of pupils leave Witham at the end of Year 8 to some of the country's leading senior schools including Oakham, Oundle, Uppingham, Rugby, Eton and Wycombe Abbey. Please visit the Destination Schools page for full details.

There are four buses leaving from Oakham, Oundle, South Luffeham and Uppingham that provide transportation to school on Monday to Friday mornings. Please visit the Bus Routes page for more details.

There is a Breakfast Club for early drop offs and in the Pre-Prep, there is a crèche available each day until 1800. The Prep School day finishes at 1715, but pupils can stay for Tea and attend a club or activity from 1800-1900. Please visit the wrap-around care page of the website for more details.
