The school provides private co-education from the Nursery aged 2, through Pre-Prep and into Prep until aged 13, with a mix of day pupils and weekly and full boarders. The school traces its origins back to 1887, and moved to its current site in 1968. The School was formed as a result of the merger of two prep schools , Newells and Desmoor. Newells had to move to this site following a fire in which one pupil died. The staff and pupils of Desmoor then moved from Ewhurst in Surrey. Originally there were two headmasters, Captain Peter Hope-Lang and Mr McNeil, until Hope-Lang's death in 1970. For a time the school was also known as Newells and Desmoor School. As of 2016, the School has 362 pupils. The current Headmaster, Richard Brown, joined the school in September 2016 taking over from Graeme Owton who became Head in 2011. Graeme Owton has become Executive Head of the Brighton College Prep Schools. In June 2011 a merger with Brighton College was announced.[1] Houses
AcademicsApart from Brighton College (which they are merged with), Handcross leavers get a wide range of offers at Public boarding schools such as Worth, Wellington, Charterhouse, Epsom, Harrow, Sevenoaks, Winchester and Shrewsbury amongst others.[3] BadgeThe school continues use of the badge that was in use when the school was at Newells, Lower Beeding, and before then, at Seafield Park, Lee-on-Solent. It is a device comprising an heraldic style shield of gold on a blue background, over the motto, worded in Middle English, "Be Trewe".[4] External links
