Kool orienteeritud ja, nagu proua Enne kasvas vanemate, four of her daughters took over its organisation. The youngest, Florence (known as Miss Flo), retired in 1932. The school was fortunate enough to pass into the capable hands of Miss Nicholson (tuntud Miss Nick), who was its head until she died more than 30 aastat hiljem.
For some years the school was run by Mrs Eleanor Elgood, followed by Mrs Jean Vernon. Then, aastal 1982, Proua Averil Collins sai juht, post ta leidis eest 24 years. During her tenure, the school had to leave the premises that had been its home for 130 years. Harrow School came to the rescue, providing temporary accommodation for 3 years in its sixth form club.
In 1992, by a stroke of good fortune, a neighbouring property to the original house, came onto the market (Buckholt House) and the school was able to buy it, its present home at 25 Middle Road.
Mrs Alison Isaacs became its new Head in 2006. Under her leadership, the school continued to flourish, säilitada vanade traditsioonide samas omaks uusi arenguid ja eesolevaid tulevikku.
In the summer of 2018 the owners of the school sold it to Mrs Suzanne Goodwin and her two daughters Sarah Mackintosh and Claire Blunt. Together the trio now run the school. Mrs Goodwin has a long history of success in Independent Education, running The Hall School, Northwood, very successfully for many years. Sarah Mackintosh has been a Head Teacher in both Secondary and Primary Schools in Surrey for twenty years and Claire Blunt, who is in charge of the financial aspects of Roxeth Mead, is a successful CEO International.
Following the pandemic in 2020, it was no longer financially viable to continue as a Pre-Prep School and to educate pupils up to the age of 7. A decision was made to focus on nursery education only and the school registered with Ofsted as a Nursery School and now caters for babies and children aged 3 months to 5 years.
