History
Milbourne Lodge was founded in 1912 by Harvey Wyatt, father of the politician Woodrow Wyatt,[1] who established the school in Arbrook Lane, Surrey. The school is situated on its original site, with the preparatory year groups occupying the original school building and the pre-preparatory year groups taught in what was previously the Headmaster's house.
In 1948 the school was bought by Norman Hale who was Headmaster for fifty-one years.[2][3]
In 2007 Milbourne Lodge became part of the Cognita group.
In 2012, the school was found to have "improperly expelled a brother and sister after their parents criticised the parents' association's handling of finances".[4] Judge Robert Reid added that "'I am surprised that an apparently 100-year-old school has got such a shambles by way of a parents' association'".[4]
In 2025 Cognita sold Milbourne Lodge School to Blenheim Schools and Outcomes First Group along with 11 other schools.[5][6]
The headteacher is Judy Waite. The school met all required standards in a 2025 inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, receiving positive feedback for leadership and pastoral care.[7]
Notable staff
- Godfrey Sampson, composer and organist[8]
