Windlesham House School is an independent boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 4 to 13 on the South Downs, in Pulborough, West Sussex, England.[1] It was founded in 1837 by Charles Robert Malden and was the first boys' preparatory school in the United Kingdom.[2] In 1967 it became the first IAPS co-educational school.[3] The school moved to its current location in 1934. It caters for over 300 pupils. Children aged 4 to 7 are taught in the pre-prep.

From 2011 onward, the school has been inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, who awarded it 'excellent' in its 2017 report.[4][5] The school received an 'outstanding' award in its Ofsted inspection in 2010.[4]
