Gresham’s has been named Independent School of the Year: Central – a recognition of our vibrant school community and the exceptional pupil experience on offer. 

The Independent Schools of the Year Awards said “The focus of the 2025 awards will be to celebrate the demonstrable benefits of an independent school education and showcase the innovative, caring and life-enhancing student experience which pupils in our schools receive”.

The competition was strong, six outstanding schools were shortlisted for the award including Repton School and Malvern College.

The judging chair, Helen Wright, who presented the award said “Gresham’s won for the way in which it crafts its education around and through its location in a market town, and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and for how it integrates with the local community as well as making extensive use of the countryside for its activities”.
