Our take
Independent co-ed sixth-form college in Kensington and Chelsea for ages 14–19. Selective entry, top-tier London fees.
- 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.
- Families comfortable with top-tier London independent fees in exchange for the level of provision.
- 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.
