Blundell’s School, Tiverton, Devon

Muddy says: A co-ed prep and senior school set in 90 acres, with a distinguished 400 year history steeped in trad values and modern teaching; the Blundell's blend works.
West Buckland School, Barnstaple

Muddy says: A nurturing, non-hothousey co-ed day and boarding school in bucolic North Devon with acres of healthy air coast and countryside on its doorstep.
Kingsley School, Bideford

This co-ed all-through school in Bideford, with an excellent Learning Support Centre, is warm, caring and fun above all; and with happy kids comes excellent results.
Wellington School, Wellington

Millfield Prep, Glastonbury

Muddy says: this famously sporty school isn't only for future Olympians but if you have the potential, the opportunities are there for the taking. Whatever your talent, the school aims to winkle it out and help it flourish
Perrott Hill Prep, nr Crewkerne

Muddy says: this is a small co-ed prep school with stonking views, trad prep values and a 21st century outlook, deep in the Somerset countryside
