Our take
Independent boys school in Richmond upon Thames for ages 4–13. Selective entry.
- Children aged 4–13.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
- 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.
- Single-sex (boys). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
About the head
Learning is life's greatest adventure and at Tower House School we want every boy to arrive each day with a sense of joy, excitement and wonder at what lies ahead. We want our boys to find what they love and to feel inspired to explore those areas with open hearts and minds in a uniquely supportive environment.
