Aberdour School, founded in 1928, is a co-educational preparatory school for ages 2–11 in Burgh Heath (near Banstead), Surrey, England. It is a nursery department, pre-preparatory school and preparatory school,[3] and covers 14 acres (57,000 m2), 10 of which are playing fields.

Aberdour was founded in 1928 by R.M.D Grange as a boys' boarding school.[4] In 1971 Aberdour School became an educational charitable trust and is now administered by a board of governors.[5] In 1994 it became a co-educational school and its first intake of girls was welcomed with the newly opened nursery.[3]
