Terra Nova School is a prep school in Cheshire, England for children from two and a half to thirteen years of age. It began as a school for boys in 1897, and today educates boys and girls.

Contents

Children aged two and a half to seven attend the pre-prep school, and pupils aged eight to thirteen attend the prep school.

Since 1939 [2] the school has occupied a site of just over 36 acres (15 ha) including playing fields, in a rural area within the bounds of Holmes Chapel. [3] At the core of the site is Jodrell Hall, a country house begun in 1779 with additions in 1835. [4]
