Comment: Wickham Court is an independent co-educational day school for pupils between the ages of 2½ and 16, and a nursery through to the end of Key Stage 4. It is, as you will see, a very special place. Our school is a place that imparts to its pupils a love of learning and a reverence for ideas. It is a place that nurtures the total person, a place that educates character as well as intellect. And most assuredly, it is a place that will never overlook what Emerson called “the genius of the individual”.
