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] [ dead link ] [3]

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". [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]
