- Aldro is a day and boarding school for approximately 200 boys aged between 7 and 13. Nestled in the quintessentially English and very beautiful village of Shackleford, Aldro lies just 30 miles southwest of London and in easy reach of both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. With our full, weekly, and family-friendly boarding, Aldro welcomes boys from all around the world, as well as those looking for an idyllic country education away from the capital and many who join us daily from the towns and villages surrounding our stunning rural location in the home county of Surrey. Aldro has been bringing out the best in boys for over 120 years, yet despite our proud heritage and traditions, we aim to offer a modern, progressive and innovative curriculum that prepares the boys well for their transition to senior schools and their personal and professional lives beyond. Life at Aldro is also lots of fun. As you walk around the grounds, you may well spot boys representing the school in a whole variety of different sports, rowing on the lake, learning the rules of Pétanque, or playing pirates on our very own adventure island. You are likely to see boys rehearsing for an upcoming play, singing in the choir, or heading off to the woods for yet another outdoor education lesson. Aldro life is guaranteed to be varied and stimulating! Our small class sizes and high aspirations for the boys ensure that they achieve their very best in the classroom. We want them to discover a love of learning that will stay with them for life. Many will move on from Aldro to the UK’s top independent senior schools, often with scholarships and awards that reflect the diversity and excellence of their achievements along the way. If boys are to thrive at school, they must first feel happy. Our strong pastoral model and tangible sense of community, together with the values that stem from our Christian foundation, underpin our day-to-day lives here, helping to ensure that each boy is uniquely known and individually valued. Our communal life is characterized by core values such as kindness, respect, and integrity, and the school’s Christian foundation is as important today as it ever was our lively Chapel services and engaging Assemblies begin each day and help to provide focus and context for the learning that follows. Aldro's parents also contribute much to our sense of community and, when your son joins Aldro, you too become a part of the wider Aldro family. View full school
