Our school is not a treadmill, it’s a launchpad!
Tomorrow Starts Here.
Not all lessons happen at a desk. Some begin with a question, a ladybird and a patch of earth.
Tomorrow Starts Here.
Lead with curiosity.
Question convention.
Discover what’s possible.
Tomorrow Starts Here.
The spark of an idea. The courage to try. The joy of making something new.
Tomorrow Starts Here.
Welcome to Hunter Hall
Hunter Hall school is a preparatory and pre-school like no other. Housed in 19th century farm buildings in the Eden Valley on the outskirts of Penrith, we provide children with the space and support they need to learn, grow and become the best they can be.
Tomorrow Starts Here
Hunter Hall, an independent primary school in Penrith, is where education shapes the lives children will lead. For boys and girls aged 3 to 11, we offer a pioneering approach that combines innovative, future-focused learning with traditional values and child-centred education.
Our dedicated subject specialist teachers don’t just fill minds with knowledge – they light the fire of curiosity. In our small school that achieves big results, every child receives the individual attention and challenge they need to discover their own path to success.
Shaping Future-Ready Learners
At Hunter Hall, we provide more than academic excellence – we nurture confident, articulate children who think critically and creatively. Our stimulating environment encourages big questions, bold ideas and a deep love of learning. Here, children don’t just prepare for the next stage of their journey – they develop the confidence and strength of character to thrive in whatever comes next. They leave us self-assured, knowing they have built not just knowledge, but the thinking skills and resilience to flourish in an ever-changing world.
Head’s Welcome
A warm welcome to Hunter Hall, where tomorrow starts today. Nestled on the edge of the Lake District, our forward-looking prep school gives children the space and support to grow academically, personally, and in self-confidence.
Our specialist teachers create engaging learning experiences that teach children how to think, not what to think. They encourage questions, celebrate progress over perfection, and help each child discover their own definition of success. Because in the world that awaits them, our children will need to be the critical and creative thinkers who shape tomorrow.
