Editorial verdict

Houseroom's view of the school.

overview

Colfe's Junior School is the first step in an all-through journey from age 3 to 18, sharing the same Blackheath campus as Colfe's Senior School. It caters for 440 mixed day pupils aged 3–11. Solid academic foundations are laid from the start, but the holistic approach means pupils are as likely to be engaged in forest school as in interview practice and exam preparation. A sizeable majority of pupils move up to the senior school at 11, though entry is not automatic — junior school pupils must sit the same entrance exams as external applicants.

facilities

Pupils have full access to the senior school's facilities, including a 25m swimming pool and playing fields reached by a short minibus ride. There is a dedicated outdoor education department, and despite the urban location, pupils get outside as much as possible.

send

The school's SEND department receives high praise from those familiar with the school.
