Our take
Independent boys prep school in Westminster for ages 8–13, day or boarding. Selective entry.
- Families looking for a prep school covering ages 8–13.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
- Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
- 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.
