Houseroom EditorialOur take
Houseroom Editorial
Our take
Independent co-ed school in Southwark for ages 4–11. Selective entry, C of E ethos.
Best for
- Children aged 4–11.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families who value a C of E ethos in school life.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- The C of E ethos shapes assemblies, holidays and pastoral life. Comfortable for committed families; worth thinking about for those of other or no faith.
