Wycliffe College is a co-educational, Independent, Public day and boarding school located in the town of Stonehouse in Gloucestershire, England. The school was founded in 1882 by G. W. Sibly, and comprises a Nursery School for ages 2–4, a Preparatory School for ages 4–13, and a Senior School catering for ages 13–18. In total, there are approximately 800 pupils enrolled at the school. The college is set in 52 acres of land distributed among three separate campuses and offsite facilities.
Wycliffe is a member school of The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC). The Good Schools Guide stated that Wycliffe is "A school which offers a way of life as much as an education...A real gem of a school." The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated Wycliffe as either Excellent or Good in all areas in its most recent inspection (March 2016). For the academic year 2016/2017, Wycliffe charges up to £34,185 pa for boarders and £18,990 pa for day pupils in the senior school. Fees in the prep school are up to £25,500 pa for boarders and £13,410 pa for day pupils. This makes Wycliffe one of the more expensive HMC schools in the country.
The Nursery, which first opened in 1983 at the Grove, and was originally located within the same grounds as the Preparatory School boarding houses and sports fields. The Grove, a house built of Cotswold stone, was destroyed by fire in 1994. In 2012 the nursery school split into the nursery and pre-prep departments, the latter being moved to join with the Preparatory school.
The Prep School has extensive sports grounds separated by a main road from the main campus. The pupils use a specially built bridge to cross over the road safely. The Prep School has two boarding houses: Pennwood housing the male boarders and Windrush housing the female boarders. The school amenities include an indoor swimming pool, performing arts centre, tennis courts and extensive sports fields.
