About the School

The Yehudi Menuhin School is a leading specialist music school with an international outlook, offering highly individualised music education to approximately 95 young musicians. Pupils are aged between aged 10 and 19 years old, the great majority of whom board at the School. They receive both an academic and a musical education, and each pupil has their own individual schedule designed to suit their particular needs. Present pupils include a number of prize-winners in various international competitions, and the vast majority go on to conservatoires and universities to study music when they graduate.

Set in 18 acres of beautiful grounds in Stoke d’Abernon, Surrey, the School provides a nurturing environment where pupils pursue their love of music, within a broader curriculum, with like-minded young people from all over the world. This small boarding and day school has a community atmosphere and everyone knows and supports one another.

Cobham and Stoke d'Abernon Rail Station is a direct, 40-minute journey from London Waterloo and there is ample car parking on site.
