We are thrilled to announce that Cobham Hall, one of the schools in our group, will be fully co-educational from September 2025. They will welcome their first-ever co-educational cohort across Years 7 to 11. Established 60 years ago as a pioneering school for girls, in 2023, Cobham Hall broke tradition and opened its Sixth Form to boys.

The first boy, George, joined Cobham Hall’s Sixth Form in January 2023 and this year became the first boy in Cobham Hall history to graduate from the school. Last September, the school recorded another first, opening its new boys’ boarding house in a wing of the 16th Century manor. In February 2024, the school community elected their first-ever boy to the democratically chosen Student Leadership Team, as Year 12 student Jude became Deputy Guardian (Deputy Head Student).

Head of Cobham Hall, Wendy Barrett, said: "It has been a joy to see our Sixth Form boys flourish in Cobham’s unique family atmosphere, and we are excited now to be able to welcome boys from all year groups into our supportive community."
