Saint Felix School is an co-educational independent day and boarding school in Reydon near the town of Southwold in the English county of Suffolk. The school was founded as a girls' school in 1897 by Margaret Isabella Gardiner, whose ambition was 'to make a school where girls are treated like sensible creatures'. By September 1902 the present site of the school had been purchased and the first four boarding houses and teaching block completed. In 1910 the Gardiner Hall, Library, and Clough House were built.
The school accommodates toddlers in the Nursery, and children up to the age of 18 in the Sixth Form. The school offers full boarding throughout the term, weekly, or 'flexi' boarding. The current head is Mr James Harrison.
