Since 1923 the school has been situated on Bunces Lane, where its main building was once a large private town house called Pyrmont Villa, which later extended into the adjoining parklands.

The school has a strong commitment to dance, drama and music.

[1] There are regular plays, performances and concerts by children of all ages.

St Aubyn's is the only preparatory school in Great Britain to have its own Cadet Corps.

They parade once a week, go away on an annual camp, and also meet at weekends to work on Fieldcraft, Navigation, Skill at Arms, Signals, Campcraft, and Leadership.
