Our take
Independent co-ed sixth-form college in City of London for ages 14–19, day or boarding. Non-selective intake, top-tier London fees.

- 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.
- 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.
