History
St. Hugh's School owes its origin to the Forbes family who founded it in 1925, and it was due to their energy and vision that the school has been able to expand in the last eighty years. St. Hugh's, administered by a forward thinking Governing Body, became a Charitable Trust in 1962 and has continued to prosper over the years.
We are very proud that we are a truly independent prep school, preparing children for a wide range of senior schools for transfer at both eleven and thirteen.
Over the years many hundreds of children have attended St. Hugh's from within Lincolnshire and beyond.
For some current pupils they represent the third generation of their family attending the 'family' of St. Hugh's.
The school is the oldest independent prep school in the county and continues to be an extremely successful prep school.
On 1 September 2025 the School became part of the Repton Family of Schools, a global organisation made up of 12 schools both in the UK and internationally. However, the School retains its unique identity and looks forward to its next 100 years.
