Milbourne Lodge School
Located in Esher, Surrey, the school is housed in a Victorian mansion situated on 8.5 acres (3.4 ha) of Surrey countryside.
History
Milbourne Lodge was founded in 1912 by Harvey Wyatt, father of the politician Woodrow Wyatt, 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.
In 2007 Milbourne Lodge became part of the Cognita group. The present head is Judy Waite.
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". 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'".
