Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school in Bromley for ages 2–18, day or boarding. Non-selective intake, Methodist ethos.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 2–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
  • Families who value a Methodist ethos in school life.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
Watch-outs
Know before applying
  • The Methodist ethos shapes assemblies, holidays and pastoral life. Comfortable for committed families; worth thinking about for those of other or no faith.
