Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school in Camden for ages 3–15. Selective entry.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–15) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • 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.
