Our take
Independent co-ed all-through school in Richmond upon Thames for ages 4–18. Selective entry.
- Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 4–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
