Our take
Independent co-ed all-through school in Lambeth for ages 5–19. Non-selective intake.
- Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 5–19) rather than separate prep + senior.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
- Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
- 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.
