Our Ethos
Set in 85 acres of idyllic Suffolk parkland, Old Buckenham Hall is one of Britain’s oldest and most beautiful boarding prep schools. For over 160 years it has prepared young people for a wide range of senior schools, including many of the most prestigious boarding and day schools in the country.
Today, OBH pupils are the proud heirs of this long tradition, creating memories and relationships that stay with them for their whole lives.
Everything we do at Old Buckenham Hall is underpinned by the principles of The OBH Way, most notably:
Courage, Kindness, Pride, Respect, Responsibility, Community.
We believe that these virtues, coupled with a rigorous programme of study, create young people who are intrinsically confident, talented and who hold a deep belief in the service of others.
