Houseroom EditorialOur take
Houseroom Editorial
Our take
Independent co-ed senior school in Kensington and Chelsea for ages 13–19. Selective entry, established SEND provision, top-tier London fees.
Best for
- Families seeking a senior school for ages 13–19, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Children with dyslexia, ADHD, ASD and related needs — SEND is a stated specialism.
- Families comfortable with top-tier London independent fees in exchange for the level of provision.
Watch-outs
- Fees sit at the top of the London market. Factor in extras (uniform, trips, lunches, music tuition) before committing.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
