History of Dair House

 

Founded in Farnham Common in1932, Dair House moved to its present site in Farnham Royal in 1962. Originally a proprietor owned school, it became a registered charity, with a Board of Governors, in 1976. The school was accredited by the ISJC in 1987, and the present Headmaster is a member of the ISA.

 

Following the Inspectors' Committee meeting of the Independent Schools Inspectorate in January 2007, Dair House has been elected to full membership of the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools. This is a major achievement for the school. IAPS is an association consisting of approximately 550 of the leading independent preparatory schools in the UK and oversaes. IAPS stands for all-round excellence, and seeks to promote the highest professional standards of independent education.

 

The school has regular Ofsted and ISI inspections. The latest ISI inspection was in November 2004 and the latest Ofsted Nursery Inspection was in March 2005. Please click here for details.

 

The religious affiliation of Dair House is the Church of England but all faiths, or none, are welcome and assemblies include all pupils and staff.

 

The development of the school has always been a consideration of the Board of Governors and over the years a number of additions have been made to the original building. This has enhanced the facilities for teaching and learning and provides a safe and secure environment for all the pupils.
