Girls joining Cothill in September 2025

We are excited to share the news that Cothill will begin the move to co-educational from September 2025. This will see the school evolve into a co-educational day, flexi and full boarding prep school, helping to engender equality, creativity and curiosity in our classrooms from an early age.  Initially the admissions process for girls will focus on Years 3-5 in September 2025 and, as these year groups move up, the school will gradually become fully co-educational.  A girls' boarding facility is planned to open in September 2025 and the school expects to have girls in all year groups from September 2028.

From September 2025, all our pupils will access the academic, social and developmental benefits of a co-educational environment.  The complementary skills and ways of thinking that both genders bring will add a new dynamic to our classrooms, while our co-curricular offering will be enhanced by the presence of both girls and boys.
