“Hillview Grange Boys' School is an exclusive boys-only boarding
school for 11 to 18 year olds. Its origins lie in the 17th century,
with the formation of Culverton Boys' Academy. The Academy moved to the
former stately home of Hillview Grange in 1923, when a former pupil,
Lord Haverton, granted the estate to the school in his will. As the
school grew into its new surroundings, staff, parents and pupils
colloquially named it 'Hillview', and in 1934 the name was formally
changed.
The school is currently home to just short of 300 boys, who board on a
permanent basis except for holiday periods at Christmas, Easter and
across the summer months. Hillview is justifiably proud of the academic
achievements of its boys, who can typically boast a minimum of 3
A-grades at A-level. More than 70% of Hillview leavers go on to attend
Oxford or Cambridge, and the school numbers in its alumni three Prime
Ministers of the United Kingdom, as well as one NATO Joint Chief of
Staff.
Our sporting achievements are more than a match for our academic
prowess, and past captains of the cricket and rugby teams have gone on
to captain their countries, both in the United Kingdom and across the
Commonwealth. Yearly matches are held against the best touring
opposition available, and we have in the past welcomed teams from as
far afield as South Australia (cricket) and New Zealand (rugby).
We feel Hillview offers your child the best opportunity to grow and learn in a supportive, achievement-centred environment.”
