Editorial verdict

our view

Just a stone’s throw from Kew Gardens, Kew College Prep sits opposite a large state primary in a narrow residential one-way street. We imagine drop off and pick up must present all manner of fun and games, but with some of the best academic results

head

Headmistress Mrs Jane Bond Since 2021, Jane Bond, previously deputy head at Rokeby (where she spent 13 years). Degree in natural science from Kent; PGCE from Greenwich; masters in leadership and management from Kingston. Began career as a secondary science teacher in the state

teaching

This is an independent school and therefore does not have Key Stage 2 SATs results. While some independent schools choose to sit SATs, they are not required to do so and the UK government does not collect or publish their results.
