Houseroom EditorialOur take
Houseroom Editorial
Our take
Independent co-ed sixth-form college in Barnet for ages 14–19. Selective entry.
Best for
- Students choosing a sixth-form move at 16+ rather than continuing at their current school.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- 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.
- 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.

Tutor system
Teaching takes place in small classes, with an average of just seven students. This structure allows tutors to give each student the individual support they need to excel. Students often tell us about how they felt lost in a crowd at their previous school, in class sizes exceeding 20. At Brampton, teaching occurs in small groups with an average class size of just 7. This allows tutors to focus attention on each individual student, so they each receive the tailored feedback and the support that they deserve.
