overview
Charterhouse Square School is an original Barbican prep for 201 pupils aged 3–11, offering mixed, day education in London (EC1M 6EA). It has an excellent academic record stemming from superb teaching and a curriculum that runs a year ahead of national requirements. Head Caroline Lloyd focuses on celebrating talent and encouraging pupils' self-confidence. There is no uniform and no teacher-marked homework — parents flag up any issues, which are then addressed. The school offers plenty of sports locally and operates a buddy system to ensure the youngest pupils feel nurtured.
