Ludgrove School is a private boarding preparatory school for boys aged 8 to 13 in the civil parish of Wokingham Without, adjoining the town of Wokingham in the English county of Berkshire.
The school was founded in 1892 by Arthur Dunn in north London. Dunn, a noted footballer, recruited a number of eminent sportsmen to assist him as masters and was succeeded, on his premature death, by two England international football captains, G.O. Smith and William Oakley, who became joint headmasters.
In 1937 the school was moved to its present location at
Wixenford,
Wokingham. Famous alumni of the school include Princes
William and
Harry of
Wales (sons of
Charles, Prince of Wales),
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent,
James Carnegie, 3rd Duke of Fife,
Peter Ainsworth,
George Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood and
George Askew, a contestant on
Big Brother 7. Its current headmaster is Gerald Barber (retiring in
2008), and Sid Inglis and Simon Barber (Gerald's son) are due to take over.
Its extensive sporting facilities include a
golf course, a swimming
pool, two
fives courts, two
squash courts, four
tennis courts, and around eleven
football/
rugby/
hockey/
cricket pitches. The school also has specialist
art,
carpentry,
pottery,

IT departments. There are around 200 pupils at the school, most of the boys go off to public school such as
Radley College and
Eton College. There are around 40 - 50 boys in each year on average and the average class size varies, but gets smaller as the boys get older (to around 11 boys).
