Aldro is a coeducational day and boarding school for approximately 200 children aged between 7 and 13. Nestled in the quintessentially English and very beautiful village of Shackleford, Aldro lies just 30 miles southwest of London and is in easy reach of both Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
Aldro is well known for preparing children to attend the best independent senior schools. Our scholarship boards speak for themselves - in 2024, 25% of the cohort achieved scholarships to schools including Winchester, Wycombe Abbey and RGS Guildford and over the last three years, a total of 16 academic scholarships have been awarded.
At the time of writing, 24% of the current Form 8 have achieved scholarships to schools including Charterhouse and Harrow.

At Aldro, we are passionate about providing an enriching boarding provision with first class pastoral care. Young people can develop socially and personally in their confidence, organisation and leadership in a friendly, family-orientated environment that cultivates mutual respect and prepares them for boarding at their senior schools.
What the school is known for? Aldro is lots of fun - situated in stunning grounds, pupils are nurtured, challenged and fulfilled in equal measure, discovering and growing in talents aplenty, ready to leave secure in their own identity. We ask all our pupils to have a go at everything.
