St Hilary's School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

St Hilary's School is an independent day school for boys aged between 2 and 7, and girls aged between 2 and 11. Founded in 1927, the school became a charitable trust in 1966 and is overseen by a board of 12 governors. The school is set in a Victorian house situated in grounds on the outskirts of Godalming. The original building has been extended over the years to provide purpose-built accommodation, and a more recent addition, the Hiorns Centre, offers further indoor facilities. The school aims to provide a broad all-round education, equipping pupils with the qualities and skills needed in school and beyond. It seeks to nurture a genuine love of learning, draw on each child's individual talents, and create a warm, safe and caring environment in which every child can thrive. Pupils come from a range of professional backgrounds and the school supports children with a variety of needs, including those with special educational needs and disabilities, pupils for whom English is an additional language, and those identified as more able.

Children who bring phones to school must check them into the office in the morning and collect them before leaving.
