Begin Your Belhaven Journey

Welcome

Whether you're considering Pre-Prep for your 4- or 5-year-old, or Prep School for older children, we'd love to welcome you to Belhaven.

Please visit us at any time. Tours happen throughout the week at times to suit you. Most importantly, you'll meet our Headmaster, talk with our staff, and have lunch with our children. Because that's when you'll really understand what Belhaven is all about.

How to Start

1. Get In Touch
Contact our Registrar, Olivia Reynolds, to arrange a visit, request a prospectus, or simply ask questions.

2. Visit Us
Come for a personal tour. See lessons in action, explore our beautiful campus, and get a genuine feel for daily life here.

3. Taster Day
Your child spends a day (sometimes a night) at school, attending lessons, trying activities, and meeting future friends. These visits are invaluable and children almost always return home eager to start!

4. Join Our Community
If Belhaven feels right for your family, we'll guide you through the simple registration process.

WHAT PARENTS SAY

"Before we sent our kids to Belhaven, we were told by many friends that we had to visit the school to understand why it was just 'so special'. Now after 6 years there as a parent, and being very involved in the school, I still can't put my finger on just one thing. It's the traditional values, the confidence, courtesy and great manners that the children leave with. It's the all-round education, massive range of activities, skills and care they receive during their time. Most importantly though, it seems to be that Belhaven gets the best from every child."

"The thing I like most about Belhaven is the strong family atmosphere, making sure every pupil has an area, or five, to shine in and an excellent moral code of kindness and doing your very best." Belhaven Parent
