Bilton Grange Preparatory School was established in 1873 and has been proudly located at its current site since 1887. From September 2023 to 2024, we commemorated our 150th anniversary with a year-long celebration known as 'BG150.' 

Throughout this milestone year we hosted numerous events, bringing together over 400 members of the Bilton Grange community. These efforts raised more than £50,000 for the Earle Fund, supporting additional boarding bursaries at Bilton Grange, enabling us to inspire and nurture even more young minds in the future. 

The celebrations began with a successful Launch Party, where over 100 guests enjoyed canapés, fireworks, and live music performed by Bilton Grange pupils. In May, we welcomed back 38 Homefieldians for the Homefield Reunion, featuring archive displays, afternoon tea, and the presentation of a blue plaque. The festivities culminated in a spectacular Summer Ball, a black-tie event attended by over 150 Biltonians, staff, parents, and friends of the school. The following day, the celebration concluded with an MCC cricket match and a closing tea party, where we sealed the Time Capsule, which will be placed in the new boarding house.
