Knowing every child - Nurturing potential

About us

Gosfield School was established at Cut Hedge Park in 1929 when the daughter of the
textile manufacturer, George Courtauld  purchased the land and buildings from the
executors of her late father’s estate.

Constance Cicely Courtauld started a Senior Boy’s Boarding School the same year, with
students relocating from Leigh Hall School in Southend. In 1944, Cicely gifted the School
and estate to Headmaster John Turner who continued the work started by  Cicely. In
1967, the School became a charitable trust and in 1986, the School became co-
educational.

A Prep School was opened in 1989 and we welcomed our first Sixth Form students in
1994. In 2006, Gosfield School Ltd purchased the freehold of the estate and buildings
from the Turner family. In 2015, we opened Meadow Court, a purpose built Prep School,
which is home to a Nursery, Reception Class up to Year 5, within the grounds of our 110
acre estate. We continue to develop and upgrade our infrastructure, we opened our
Forest School and Cricket Pavilion in May 2017. Our Cricket Academy welcomed its first
Scholars in Summer 2018, we opened our new Design Technology workshop in January
2019 and undertook the design led redecoration of the Manor House. The construction of
our new Performing Arts Centre was opened by Denise van Outen in May 2023.

We are committed to the development of our young people in an environment where all
students feel valued and are able to achieve excellence in all aspects of life. We have non-
academic entry criteria and consistently achieve outstanding outcomes when compared
to Schools with academic entry criteria. Cicely’s founding principles for the School were
to create a family environment in which young people would flourish and we remain
faithful to those principles today.
