Our take
Independent co-ed senior school in City of London, day or boarding. Non-selective intake, top-tier London fees.
Best for
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
- Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.

Watch-outs
- Fees sit at the top of the London market. Factor in extras (uniform, trips, lunches, music tuition) before committing.
