The School remains on its original site with the Prep school year groups occupying the original school building and the Reception classes taught in what was previously the Headmaster’s house. In 1948 the school was bought by Norman Hale who was Headmaster for fifty-one years. During Mr Hale’s tenure, Milbourne Lodge became one of England’s leading Preparatory Schools recognised for outstanding academic achievements and numerous scholarship awards to top public schools. In 2007 Milbourne Lodge became part of the Cognita Schools group and in 2009 the School introduced a Year 3 intake, aligning itself with the modern Preparatory School year group structure. A Year 1 intake was also welcomed into the School in response to strong local demand. Building on this success, September 2009 saw the opening of our thriving Pre-Prep which now incorporates Reception through to Year 2 and two form entry in all year groups. In September 2016 our new Changing Room block was completed. In January 2016, Mrs Judy Waite was appointed Head and a new building complex – The Hale building – was officially opened comprising 6 new classrooms and a specially designed Science Laboratory.
