Welcome to Cumnor House
From the start of the Summer term in 2027, Cumnor House Boys and Cumnor House Girls School will come together into a single, cohesive school at our Pampisford Road campus.
Bringing together the strengths, expertise and traditions of our Boys’ and Girls’ schools creates an exciting new chapter for Cumnor – with more opportunities for every child to learn, discover, achieve and thrive.
Our schools
At Cumnor House, we are a family of schools – a girls’ school, a boys’ school and a nursery – where children are inspired to aim high, excel in what they love and grow into the leaders of tomorrow.
From their very first steps in nursery to their final days with us, every pupil is encouraged, challenged and supported to achieve their full potential, both in and beyond the classroom.
