Orwell Park School

Orwell Park School

Leading Ind Co-Ed Prep School

History

Founded by the Reverend Walter Wilkinson in Lowestoft in 1868, the School moved to Aldeburgh in 1870, changing its name three times – from Crespigny House to Eaton House to Aldeburgh Lodge. It then moved to its present site in Nacton in 1937 and was renamed Orwell Park. The magnificent building and grounds it now occupies were formerly owned by Admiral Vernon, 18th century naval hero, and Colonel Tomline, Victorian entrepreneur and founder of the port of Felixstowe who built the magnificent observatory at Orwell Park which is still used today.

"The school is extremely successful in fulfilling its aims of providing an academically challenging and fulfilling all-round education, and strong pastoral care where all pupils are able to benefit from a vibrant boarding experience."

Orwell Park is a long established co-educational prep school for day pupils and boarders. In a structured environment, where academic achievement and pastoral care are given top priority, boys and girls learn traditional values such as courtesy, personal responsibility and respect for others. An all-round education ensures that children make excellent progress academically as they develop in confidence and self-esteem.
