The Gleddings is an exceptional, co-educational Preparatory School in Halifax. Under the inspiring leadership of Jill Wilson CBE, the school, which is currently oversubscribed, was named Sunday Times Prep School of the Year for 2017. Its most recent ISI inspection awarded it excellent in all areas. It was acquired by Forfar in 2019 who recently opened The Little Gleddings - a purpose built nursery on the grounds for children 6months +

Although the academic results speak for themselves, The Gleddings is about much more. Their caring ethos is central to everything they do, and their intention is simply to make their children as happy and as successful as they can possibly be, both academically and personally.
