Houseroom EditorialOur take
Our take
Independent co-ed senior school in Wandsworth for ages 10–18. Selective entry, Christian ethos.
- Families seeking a senior school for ages 10–18, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families who value a Christian ethos in school life.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- The Christian ethos shapes assemblies, holidays and pastoral life. Comfortable for committed families; worth thinking about for those of other or no faith.
