Welcome to

Austin Friars

"It is clear that an education which enables children to explore and make the most of their potential whilst preparing them for an ever-changing world is vital."
The style of education delivered at Austin Friars, driven by a deep understanding of each child, does exactly that and more strengthening our position as the leading independent day school of choice for those based in the North West of England and South West of Scotland.
