[edit] History
The original preparatory school was opened at Countess Farm, Amesbury in 1923 by Captain Frank Perks Prangley. Captain Prangley was born in Corsley, Wiltshire in 1884 and subsequently moved to Canada, where in 1916 he enrolled in the Royal Canadian Forces for service in World War I.
The school moved to its current site, a former manse, in Bulford in 1957. Today the school continues its military links and mainly caters for the children of officers stationed in the local army camps. The current method of admission for pupils is by interview.
