Since 2021, the LuxLife Private Education Awards have aimed to highlight the standout entities within a market of such high value to our communities and society. No matter the challenges this industry faces, the winners this year persist in creating better opportunities for themselves and the children they support.

Mowden Hall School was awarded Prep School of the Year – North East, a recognition that is a true testament to the dedication and commitment of the whole school community. This achievement follows the school’s success in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards last autumn, which underpins the school’s continued commitment to providing an exceptional all-round education.

Awards Coordinator Melissa Bramall said: “We’re proud to recognise the commitment of such compassionate, empathetic, and caring individuals who form the integral teams within the private education market around the globe. I want to wish our winners all the best for the future ahead and another sincere round of applause for their accomplishments thus far.”

Phil Sturt, Head at Mowden Hall School, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be recognised again as Prep School of the Year. This accolade is a wonderful reflection of the dedication and passion of the whole community at Mowden Hall, including staff, pupils and families. 

“At Mowden, we believe that the best education is one that inspires curiosity, builds confidence and enables every child to discover their own strengths. This most recent award celebrates the core vision of our school, which is to be the best co-educational independent day and boarding school in the North East.”
