Editorial verdict

Houseroom's view of the school.

overview

A small co-ed prep school in Sidcup (ages 2.5–11) with plans to expand its site and double its numbers. It achieves a 100% success rate in the 11+ Kent Test, making it popular with parents targeting local grammar schools. Despite this, it is described as no exam factory, emphasising family-style nurturing and focus on the individual. Wraparound care, diversity, and accessibility are noted as additional strengths. Head Craig Wardle has extensive experience and is overseeing the expansion, which will provide pupils with significantly more indoor and outdoor space.
