Our take
Independent co-ed prep school in Richmond upon Thames for ages 4–11. Selective entry, Christian ethos.
- Families looking for a prep school covering ages 4–11.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families who value a Christian ethos in school life.
- 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.
