About us

Since 1932, Dair House School has developed a reputation for providing a wonderfully caring and supportive education in the area surrounding Farnham Royal including Farnham Common, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Gerrards Cross, Stoke Poges, Burnham, Iver, Langley and Slough, to boys and girls from 3 to 11 years old. 

We have always placed the utmost importance on the happiness of our children and firmly believe that a child’s individual progress is greatly improved if they are happy and want to come to school to tackle new challenges. 

All of our visitors comment on the special, warm, friendly atmosphere that exists throughout the school between children, staff and parents. 

Dair House School has a fantastic staff who both challenge the children to make great strides forward, and provide an exceptionally individual caring support framework. We make great efforts to provide the best academic, sporting, musical, dramatic, artistic and mindful experiences. We offer over 40 extra-curricular club sessions each week, before school, at lunchtime and after school. We also provide a Breakfast Club and After School Care service from 7.30am to 6.00pm. 

We have been presenting the Kindness Cup every Wednesday morning for over three decades. Kindness is very much a central value of the school along with courage and commitment  

We are a small school with a limit of 150 children. This enables us to work closely with parents to support each of our children’s learning. We seek to provide the closest of links with parents and have always enjoyed a wonderful relationship with the Dair House School PTA. 

Former pupils comment that the self-confidence, good manners, consideration for others and personal desire to keep learning and never give up, have enabled them to tackle their later educational experiences extremely successfully. 

We are a non-selective school that seeks to prepare our children for the senior school most suited to their abilities and needs. With this in mind, our children leave us at the end of Year 6 for a wide range of independent, grammar and senior schools. Indeed, in the last few years our children have won scholarships for their academic, musical, sporting and artistic abilities. 

Please do arrange an appointment to visit us, meet our children and talk with our staff.
