Micklefield School in detail

Micklefield School in its own words

In its own words: "Welcome to Micklefield, a leading independent prep school and nursery in the heart of Reigate. Whenever I talk to new parents at the gates or school events, they invariably describe the difference in their child since joining Micklefield: a blossoming; a new-found inner-confidence; a burgeoning joy in learning; a sense of getting their child back."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Welcome to our nursery, where children begin their school journey from the age of two. These early years are full of wonder and discovery and we provide an environment where every child feels supported, valued and excited to learn. From the very first day, children are welcomed into a caring community that celebrates individuality and nurtures confidence."

Coming up: an open day on Friday 5 February 2027 and an open day on Saturday 15 May 2027. Check the school's website before you go, as dates can change.
