Our take

Independent co-ed prep school in Hammersmith and Fulham for ages 7–11. Selective entry, other ethos.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Families looking for a prep school covering ages 7–11.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families who value a other ethos in school life.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs

  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
