Historic Schools Merge

In September 2025, two prestigious prep schools, Marlborough House School and Vinehall School will merge. The new school will be known as Marlborough House Vinehall and will operate on the existing Vinehall site. Marlborough House Vinehall will offer an exceptional child-centred, individualised approach to education from ages 2 to 13. The School will provide a vibrant educational environment for both day and boarding pupils, with a curriculum designed to balance academic rigour with artistic, sporting and personal development. Staff and pupils will benefit from collaboration with the wider Repton Family of Schools, gaining access to expert teaching, innovative resources, and new opportunities for professional growth.

Boarding will be at the heart of a Marlborough House Vinehall education, thus continuing both schools’ tradition of fostering a strong sense of community, lifelong friendships, and personal confidence. Full, weekly and flexi-boarding will be available. Marlborough House Vinehall will be led by Mr Eddy Newton, current Head of Marlborough House School. Mr Joff Powis, current Head of Vinehall School, will take on the role of Senior Deputy Head. The merger ensures that pupils will receive the best preparation for their senior school of choice, and will enable development towards offering the very finest in 21st century education. Prospective parents are invited to attend the MHV Open Week from 9th – 13th June 2025.
