Our take
Independent co-ed school in Kensington and Chelsea for ages 3–13. Selective entry, top-tier London fees.
- Children aged 3–13.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Families comfortable with top-tier London independent fees in exchange for the level of provision.
- Fees sit at the top of the London market. Factor in extras (uniform, trips, lunches, music tuition) before committing.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.

Recent coverage
In October 2024, Garden House School underwent an Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection, receiving commendations for its broad and balanced curriculum, which effectively prepares pupils for future success. The report highlighted that pupils made good progress across various subjects, particularly in developing advanced linguistic skills, and were successful in gaining places at selective schools in London and beyond. The inspection also noted that the school's leadership, comprising three headteachers, worked collaboratively to prioritize pupils' well-being and shared a common focus on the care and welfare of each individual. Leaders were described as clear and ambitious in evaluating the school's performance and planning for its future development. Regarding leadership changes, the school's website indicates that Emma Studd has been the Headteacher since 2025. (schoolscope.uk) The school does not have Key Stage 2 SATs results, as independent schools are not required to participate in these assessments. Specific details about building projects or notable achievements were not found in the available sources.
